Storing T in Syringe?

[mercury]

Hey guys,

I've read some of the advice on this forum and actioned some of the tips, but my healthcare provider just 'blew a gasket' when I told him how I was attempting to prevent T wastage.

I'm UK based and my current protocol is 0.5ml of Sustanon 250 every 5days, with HCG every 3.5 days. Since Sustanon only comes in 1ml ampoules, I'd taken to loading 2 syringes with the correct dose, injecting 0.5ml immediately, and the other 0.5 ml 5 days later. It seemed like a good way to prevent waste & save some cash, rather than disposing of 0.5ml on each occasion.

However, as mentioned above I've just received some very strong 'advice' that such a procedure is inherently unsafe. There were a variety of reasons cited, including the problems of leaving the Sustanon in a plastic syringe for 5 days, that could have a very negative health impact, and also on the hygiene side of things.

My question for the forum is quite simple; is the recent advice from my healthcare professional essentially correct, OR, is the healthcare provider perhaps a little more worried about his profit margin, thus wanting me to waste 50% of my medication?

Thank you all in advance for any thoughts you might be able to offer on the subject.

Been doing that since my steroid cycles in the nineties without any issue. 5 days is nothing and syringes are sterile after all. I know some say the rubber can interact with the test though some people are also scared to cross the street in case they get run over. Hasn't done me any harm. I would say it is very very unlikely anyone would suffer any ill effects from injecting test what has been stored in a syringe for 5 days, though some won't take that chance even if it were a one in a million chance something would go wrong. Up to you whether you feel it is safe enough or not.

I totally concur. Well stated.

I pre-load all of mine for the week for sure, T in the medicine cabinet and hCG in the fridge.

I pre-load whenever I know my morning schedule is hectic (I'm a daily injector), so, two or three times a week.

OK, thanks for the responses thus far.

So far there would seem to be a group consensus that storing T in the syringe has little medical impact. Thank you for the words of wisdom.

Perhaps I may enquire about a comment above, relating to HcG in the fridge...?? This is a new one for me, and I'd appreciate some further advice. Is this normal protocol for HcG storage? I must admit that once the fluid had been added to the powder, the vial just remained in my washbag, rather than being stored in a fridge.

Please re-educate me.....

Keeping testosterone in pre-loaded syringe for a week or more

HCG doesn't bode too well for longevity at room temperature. Best off in the fridge or for long term freezing in slin pins.
