Shortage of Injectable Testosterone C Reported

I haven't seen this reported on the forum. Major pharmaceutical companies are reporting a shortage. There is no clear reason why:

  • Cipla has testosterone cypionate injection on back order and the company cannot estimate a release date.
  • Hikma has testosterone cypionate 200 mg/mL 1 mL vials on allocation. The 200 mg/mL 10 mL vials are on back order and the company estimates a release date in mid- to late-November 2019.
  • Perrigo has testosterone cypionate 200 mg/mL 1 mL vials on intermittent back order and the company is releasing supplies as they become available. The 200 mg/mL 10 mL vials are on back order and the company cannot estimate a release date.
  • Pfizer has Depo-Testosterone 200 mg/mL 1 mL vials on intermittent back order and the company is releasing supplies as they become available. The 100 mg/mL 10 mL vials and 200 mg/mL 10 mL vials are available in limited supply.
 
I read on Pfizer’s website that they have a shortage of 200mg/ml cyp until October-November. That’s causing ppl who usually buy the brand name to use generic, which is causing a shortage of generic now.
 
I just got my script filled and had to get 100mg/ml due to this shortage. Pharmacist gave me the direction to double the amount of each shot, but inconvenient none the less to have to shoot more volume with the small needles most of us use.

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.
