Company Wants to Sell Testosterone Self-Injector

[Jinzang]

I haven't seen this mentioned. Seems like a waste of money to me, but might expand the market for TRT for the injection averse.

Antares Pharma, Inc. announced that it had submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for QuickShot® Testosterone (QST), a drug-device combination product for the delivery of testosterone enanthate using a subcutaneous auto injector. QST is intended to treat adult men with low testosterone associated with a condition known as hypogonadism.

So far only the financial press have picked up the story,

I think they will get approved and be a success with insurance and doctors. It will be expensive even though we all can use subcutaneous testosterone cheaply.

Seems as if this has already been invented...

My girlfriend uses that injector, it seems to work great. Now I should ask her what she rejects every morning.

FDA approvals are not only for new inventions but for new methods of delivery. This application gives the rights to a company to charge a lot more money for an injector and a generic product like testosterone cypionate for insurance companies to cover. That is the reason why there are several FDA approved testosterone gels in the market that do the same thing- No new inventions but just a license to get insurance payments at 50 times what a compounding pharmacy charges. Crazy rules, I know.

Oh I know, I was joking! I figured it was kinda like reinventing the wheel.

Nelson, your mailbox on EM is still full.
