My testosterone cypionate is forming crystals, is this ok, and how do I get them to change back to the liquid.
Tom is correct that warming the vial will cause the crystals of testosterone to go back into solution. This can be achieved by sticking a cup of water in a microwave and heating it until the water boils. After the cup of water has boiled take the vial of testosterone and stick it in the hot water. Let it sit in there for a couple minutes and the crystals should have redissolved. Testosterone Cypionate is stable at high temperatures, so there is no need to worry about the medication losing any of its potency by sticking it in hot water.
