Prescription testosterone shipped by UPS. Legal?

I'm 35 years old and have been training naturally for a solid 20 years. I've made good gains but have noticed a sharp decline over the last year or two. I decided to see a low T doc and had my blood tested. My total T was around 400 and the doc is offering to prescribe my testosterone at 200 mg per week by IM injection. Apparently this would be shipped to my house via UPS after I supply my driver's license number, phone number, email address, DOB and make payment by credit card. If I decide to go through with this, do I have anything to worry about from a legal standpoint? I don't want steroids shipped to my house illegally. Thanks.
 
Nope, if your Doctor is a licensed Physician in good standing in the US it's perfectly legal and how it's done.

One question?

200 mg is at the absolute top of the dosage range for Testosterone and you being at 400, which for you age is normal; why such a high dosage?

Usually a good TRT Doctor will start you out at 100 mg a week split at two injections of 50 mg and test levels in 6 weeks.

I am willing to bet my next bar tab that at 200 mg a week your going to supraphysiological and E2 is going to elevate.

Both are not good.

In TRT, as the good Dr John Crisler states "Start low and go slow"...words to live by.

BTW, are you using an anti aging clinic for your therapy by any chance?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
