vial vs. preloaded

[James]

Most everything I read on this site talks about getting a vial of test, and some guys like using a smaller guage needle to draw and then a larger one to inject. Then there's HCG and the vial of powder and how to mix it with the water. My question is this: I take cypionate in a preloaded syringe from my doc. It's in grape seed oil and loaded at the compounding pharmacy. They offer another preloaded syringe for HCG (no need to mix the powder with water). In your opinion, is the preloaded products considered to be a lesser quality than the vials?

I feel very strongly that doctors that do not provide the whole vial of testosterone and/or HCG are doing the patient at disservice that also usually costs more money. All good doctors and their staff teach you how to inject at home.

Having said that, HCG can remain pretty active for up to 3 months if refrigerated after adding the bacteriostatic water.

I really hate when doctors make their patients dependent on products that they provide in their office. I also think it is stupid for patients to be required to come every week for an injection so that their insurance can be charged.

Yes, I understand that it probably cost more money and it is a pain to have to drive to the doctors office every week, but the question was about the quality. Is it considered a lesser quality or is it considered the same?

If coming from a licensed US pharmacy the quality is the same...BUT, I totally agree with Nelson's statement above as well.

I'm fortunate that I live walking distance from the doctors office, but I can see how that would be a pain in the ass for some guys, and it would be more convenient to self inject. I'm paying $35 per week for 160mg of cypionate, not sure if that's good/bad. Good to hear the quality should be strong since it comes from a US pharmacy.

That must be your copay...still a good price.
