Depo Testosterone - how to handle

[Guest guest]

I am self injecting depo " T " and keep the small bottle in a drawer

where it will maintain at room temperature (about 76-78 degrees). I

read here or somewhere that one should draw air into the syringe and

expell it into the bottle and then draw the " T " back into the

syringe. Prior to doing this is it necessary that one shake the

bottle of " T " or otherwise mix it up real good? I tried shaking it

once and due to the oil content it mixed tiny bubbles of air into

the liquid. That seems not to be a good idea. What is the general

procedure most everyone uses here?

Before I started self injecting my doc was doing the shots. They

kept their " T " bottles in the refrigerator, but I couldn't find

anything that said refrigeration was needed. Of course, storing it

in the refrigerator requires that it be brought to room temperature

prior to injecting so that it will actually be drawable into the

syringe.

Any thoughts on this?

You should not have to shake the bottle first for any reason - nothing

should settle. Keeping injectable T in the fridge is pointless, at least

according to the manufacturers of everything I have used - both cyp and

enanthate. Injecting air into the vial creates a vacuum in the syringe when

you pull the plunger back - increases flow. The only T that I know that

needs to be refrigerated is Andriol, though there may certainly be other

forms.

As for injecting air - wouldn't worry too much unless it is going into a

vein, and then I'd worry a lot :-).
