Underdosed generic Perrigo Test Cyp?

I answered those questions in my OP. Free T is always tested using Equilibrium Dialysis and TT using LC/MS through Quest, no exceptions.
Free T dropped from 35ng/dL to 20ng/dL.
Total T dropped also from ~1400ng/dL to ~1000ng/dL.
SHBG has been ~40nmol/L pretty much since starting TRT, after dropping from an original ~80nmol/L pre-TRT.

I'll contact them but I don't expect an honest reaction or actually any reaction whatsoever.
Yeah, I also had the same issue with rising pharmaceuticals testosterone. I called them and gave them the lot # and the pharmacy I got it from. They said they would be in contact with me. Never heard a word from them again. And as far as I can tell they don’t distribute testosterone anymore. I had always got westward which is good. I told my pharmacists only westward or hospira if it’s generic.

Of course...

Thanks, that's good to know. Empower's Test Cyp has always worked well for me, so if I can't find Pfizer Test I'll go with them or Westward/Hospira you mentioned. I've heard good things about Westward from other men also.

Good to know, thanks. I think Perrigo was also supposed to be, at least that's what they gave me instead of Pfizer because my doc forgot to say "no substitutes" on the script at the time.
Now it doesn't really matter since you can't find Pfizer anywhere apparently
 
I just got a vial of Padagis which says manufactured by Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing in Michigan. This is newer labeling than the OP of the thread and presumably a different batch. I have Lot# 87521 Expiring January 2025.

I don't start this vial right away, but would like to know about others who have issues with Padagis. My pharmacy says this is all they can get right now. I'd also like to know if anyone doesn't have issues with it.

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.
