Does Test e go "bad?"
ad
I have a lot of pharmacutical grade test e 250 in 1 ml glass ampoules. Been dosing one amp every 2 weeks, but a recent blood test at day 10 showed total test to be only 335. I want to go to 125/week instead, or 1/2 an amp per week to keep a more uniform level.
But I'm a newbie and do not know if test will rot, mold, or otherwise turn to crap after the amp is opened and exposed to air and not used right away.
My question is will the test go bad if I load two syringes from one amp and save one for the following week? (Assuming, of course I maintain sterility when loading and storing.)
Thanks in advance,
Wheels

You could crack them all open and put it in a sterile vial.
Why not just buy it in a vial then ????
Amps were tie first thing ran accross in Thailand pharmacies-- I did not think there was a reason to look for vials. Bought almost 2 years worth, so I need to either up the frequency of injections or xfer to sterile vials.
I'd up the ferquency then, even though transfering to serile vials sounds great it is just one more chance for contamiation.
Thanks for the great info. Since it seems there is a risk of it going bad if out of the opened amp for a while, I'll just increase the frequency of injections. from ea 14 days to ea 10.
Thanks agai!

There are other numbers in between 7-10-14 the calulation is quite simple.
mg in the amp / X# of days x 7 (days in a week) = mg/week
10 is a nice number as you could pin the 1st the 11th and the 21st but other #'s are possible. (Yes you lose a day in Jan,Mar,May,Jul,Aug,Oct & Dec. But you gain 2 back in Feb) LOL
Suck the amp up with a syringe and change the needles for injections
Rather than increasing your dosage,....why don't you just move your injestion (pinning) days closer together.
250mg @ ever 2 week = 125 mg/week
250mg @ ever 10 days = 175 mg/week
250mg @ ever week = 250mg/week.
ETA: 335 is way low, average for a 50 year old male is approx 550+.
AnonThe "storage" is the sealed ampule. Once outside that environment the bugs grow FAST.
As long as it is stored away from heat and light that gear will be good for a few years if its pharm grade they should have exp dates anyway but imo if stored properly it could be good a little after it
