FDA to require testosterone to carry VTE warning.

Most of us know that test and other aas can cause increased rbc production. Looks like the FDA is responding to all the lawsuits going on right now with TRT.

I see the tv ads all the time. It's just the lawyers fishing so to speak. When you have a million people using the same drug there's a great chance of finding 1000 who had the same health problem while using it regardless of if the drug caused it or not. And that's all it takes to be heard by a court. A few hundred or thousand seems like a lot of people but not when you compare it to the total number using the drug. Then it's like nothing. Most likely these guys were gonna have these problems whether they used test or not. Heart disease is so common in this country. Lawyers do this shit all the time. Pick a drug they knkw a lot of people used, pick a health problem and bam, you just found a few thousand people who coiencedently had the same issue and now you can sue for millions.
You are right tho on gear raising rbc, but is it really that big of a problem on a trt dose?
The FDA and the lawyers are both caulpable with this. The actuall health of the pubic is the very least if their concern.
Ya they couldn't give two shits about us or our health. They just want their cut of the settlement.
Exactly!!!.....
Generally not a huge problem, but everyone is different. I think it is more of an age thing. Our bodies change as we get older and I think test can have a greater effect on things. It raises a little with some and a great deal with others, even at the same low dose. I know as I get older, test has a greater effect on my BP, even at TRT doses.
When I'm in cycle I usually go get blood work done at week 8 and donate blood right after. Never been high enough to get a flag on my blood work but I've been close to the upper range of normal so I do it anyways just to be safe. It's easy enough.
It's possible that clinics and doctors may not be keeping a close eye on this, but I'm guessing. My doctor does. Should always be standard procedure whe you use gear.
Ya maybe there not. I feel like we don't stress it enough on here either. Especially guys running long 16-20 week eq cycles. Those guys need to be giving blood very frequently.
