If DHEA were to be compounded separately it could be done in a higher concentration and could be individually titrated. DHEA in an injectable solution tends to be thicker than testosterone, but 100mg/ml or even 200mg/ml may be possible.  With a higher concentration less would need to be injected.  It can then be combined with other injections without increasing the volume in the syringe too much.


The downside may be the initial cost as Empower Pharmacy or APS would first have to establish a BUD (beyond use date) for DHEA injectable.  New regulations created more hurdles for compounders to produce a new injectable formula not previously established through FDA approved third party testing.  But once the BUD has been established, and the ordering volume is there, cost will go down quickly as it is not expensive to continually produce.
