Inject the fuckers I'd assume?

What's the prescription say?

 

[HungarySkyBlue]

Fuck all, just the brand and the size of the ampules.

And the ampules don't have instructions neither.

From the missus who works in a pharmacy “push it with your thumb at the top until it snaps, then use a filter syringe (cos there will be bits of glass) to draw it up then swap to an injection syringe”

Curious how you get on its something I’ve looked at but decided was Facebook ad hype

Where did you get them from? I’d really tread carefully on injecting it at all.

My guess would be an online pharmacy. Like weed it’s quite easy to get a prescription online.

My assumption was somewhere legit would have provided instructions.

I’d suggest OP go to an in person medical provider to administer it if possible

It sounds like there's been some self-diagnosis going on somewhere here.

Who prescribed it? If its your GP they should have a nurse there who could give advice.

Eat it. All of it. The extra testosterone will make you battle through the glass.

Are you going through a sex change?

Whack it in with a shot of Wray and Nephew and down it in one.

My missus was on testosterone for treating the menopause.

For a little while she was a deep baritone with a huge beard and chopped down pine trees in Nova Scotia for shits and giggles.

Some bloke in Hillfields, he said it was legit

My testosterone is that of a child so there was literally no way I would get turned down plus I have private health care and they don't really argue too much, I tried natural and tablets before this but neither worked well enough.

Fuck no.

Filter syringes don't exist where I live, I'm going to order some from Germany.

It's legit, just a rivaye place where I live and the communication was why I wasn't able to get proper instructions, the slovak guy didn't really speak to good English and I don't speak any Slovak.

Wish that was the case, and I've been in gym 5x a week for the last 16 months and it went down , I did lose a ton of weight but that is shown in my estrogen levels that are like 6x that of a regular man.

 

[Nick]

My testosterone is that of a child

You play the drums?

(Not taking the piss out of you by the way, more the way you phrased it)

In all seriousness, if you got it through the healthcare wouldn't they give you the start to finish way to do it? I know people who have had to self inject and they got everything and a yellow sharps bin as well.

Update?

That would have been a gel presumably? Not injections.

Testosterone ampoules are typically administered by a healthcare professional through intramuscular injection into a muscle. The injection is usually given every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the specific testosterone formulation and individual needs.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. 1. Preparation:
   • The ampoule will be opened by the healthcare provider, and the medication will be drawn into a syringe.
     
     
   • The injection site (usually the thigh or hip) will be cleaned with an antiseptic.
2. 2. Injection:
   • The needle will be inserted into the muscle at a 90-degree angle.
     
     
   • The medication will be slowly injected into the muscle.
     
     
   • The needle will be withdrawn, and the injection site will be gently pressed.
3. 3. Aftercare:
   • A bandage may be applied to the injection site.
     
     
   • The patient will be instructed on the importance of regular blood tests to monitor testosterone levels and adjust dosage if needed.

Important Considerations:

• Self-Injection:
  While some individuals may be taught to self-inject testosterone, it's crucial to receive proper training and guidance from a healthcare professional, says the Leeds & York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
  
  
• Dosage:
  The dosage of testosterone will be determined by a doctor and may vary depending on the individual's needs and the specific formulation of testosterone.
  
  
• Side Effects:
  It's important to be aware of potential side effects and discuss any concerns with your doctor.
  
  
• Proper Disposal:
  Used needles and syringes must be disposed of safely in a sharps container.

In summary, testosterone ampoules are administered through intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional or, in some cases, after proper training, by the individual themselves. Proper technique, dosage, and follow-up care are essential for safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy.
