Re: 200 mg/mL vs. 100 mg/mL

May 24, 2006

Hey Eugene - I use the 200 mg/ml Depo. I inject ~ 0.4 ml per week and have seen

no difference when I get to the bottom of the vial (~ 6 months). Just be sure to

keep the vial in the right environment (cool and no sun).

My question is this: does anyone know if the 200 mg/mL T cyp. has a

shorter half-life than the 100 mg/mL? Since there is less oil, I

wonder if it doesn't last as long as the 100 mg/mL strength.

Dan you mean you get 6mo out of a 200mg/ml bottle of Depo? I haven't figured

out yet how much 0.4 ml is yet on my syringe yet. I take 75ml every week.

Last check I had on my Total T was at the top end of the scale and now have

my E2 in the right place for me. I took one 20mg Cialis yesterday and I had

a pretty good erection this morning, Hurrah! First time in over 5 years.

Anyway I get two full shots and 50ml left over for the third shot on a

200mg/ml

bottle so it sure doesn't last 6 mo. for me.

Blessings,

Roy

Hi Eugene,

I was for a long time getting my shots at my Dr. in the butt. They use

100mgs/ml I now do my shots at home using 200mgs./ml in the thigh can't tell a

difference.

Roy are you sure on this .4mls is 80mgs. on 200mgs/ml of depo T. How many mls

does your vial say it has. If your using 200mgs/ml of depo shooting at 75mls

this more then my vile holds. I am sure your doing a 75mg shot this on my

needle would be using 200mgs/ml a shot of .37 mls. My Depo T says it holds 10

mls. This is 2000 mgs. total. Read what it says on your vile to me.

Hmm...Something is seriously wrong here. You're getting two doses of

75ml and then have 50ml left over? That's 200ml total.

The vial only has 10ml in it to start with. Unless your vials are

made like Dr. Who's Tardis this cannot be so.

The vial has 10ml of solution in it to start with. Each ml of

solution contains 200mg of testosterone cypionate. The vial as a

whole initially contains 2,000mg of testosterone cypionate in 10ml of

solution.

I'm not sure what you're doing but we need to sort that out.

If he had been doing doses of 75mgs/shot, he'd be getting many more

doses out of the vial.

Hey Roy - the vial contains 10 milliliters(mls) so I use ~ 0.5 mls per shot per

week. Therefore I get 20 weeks from 1 vial. OK - 5 months not 6. At 0.4 mls I

get 80 mgs of T per week. Sometimes if it is the day of the shot and I still

feel good I will do 0.3 mls (or 60 mgs).

Unless the VA gives out small vials I don't know what to think of this. I am

sure he does shots at 75 mgs. per week. So if the vile has 1ml of T. in it then

2 shots would have 50mgs left in it.

Oh, I think I have it. They make a 1ml vial of 200mg/ml. He's using

doses of 75mg.

I'm a little late getting in here. They do make a 1ml vial containing

200mg/ml. Tiny little things. You need a magnifying glass to read the

label. When I first started self injecting at the university

hospital, they prescribed those. My uro issued a script for the 10ml

version. I also got by mistake a vial of 10ml, 100mg/ml T which I

took back to the pharmacy (without trying) for my regular 200mg/ml

strength.

Brad you are exactly right. It is a vial of 200mg/ml. I just have never had it

explained to me what the abbrevaitions really mean and I never had chemistry

I was told to take 4 tics on the 3ml syringe, ok? Even with all of you guys

help I still don't know the reason for both ml and mg as mg/ml why both?

I take two shots out of the vial and have 50mg left for the 3rd shot, right?

I still haven't figured out why put both

figures on this like mg/ml. Why not one or the other?-----

Ml is a (liquid) volume measurement, while Mg is a weight

measurement. 200mg/ml means that each milliliter (ml) of fluid

contains 200 milligrams (mg) of testosterone. The slash

symbolizes 'per' as in 200 mg of T per single ml of liquid.

It sounds like the total contents of this vial are 1 ml, and each dose

is *approximately* 1/3rd of a ml of liquid containing 75mg of

testosterone.

May 25, 2006

No Phil the VA is paying for the T but they won't pay for the Arimidex or the

Cialis. That is what is breaking me up, cash out of pocket. Does your

insurance pay for all your medications you are taking, either they are or

you sure have a nice retirement benefit !!! I know I am dosing ok because

my daughter is a paramedic but she did't explain all the details of the dosing

to me and I didn't want to bother her. I know it is hard to do the dosage of

75mg on a 3ml syringe but I just take 4 tics on the marks as she said. It

won't make that much difference if it is 80 she said. I don't know whether

I can affored the Cialis or not. Cost me $65.00 for five 20mg pills. WOW!

Roy

Roy your ok I just got scared you we doing the wrong dose. You vile must be

smaller then mine. My vile holds 10mls of 200mgs.per ml. So this means the

vile holds 2000 mg of Deop T. Your vile must be much smaller total it holds is

1ml of 200mgs per ml. for a total of 200mgs of Depo T. Do you pay for this if

so ask for a 10ml vile I think it would cost less.

At least that is how I read it. They had me on 150mg every two weeks

but it cut it in half to about 75mg per week. Isn't this correct? I still

haven't figured out why put both figures on this like mg/ml. Can you

explain that to me? Why not one or the other? Isn't 2ml equal to 200mg?

I know my dosage is ok though my daughter showed me how much to do.

one week schedule was better, with no hi or lows. So I decided to cut

the dose in half so I am taking 75mg each week. I noticed most guys

are taking 100mg per week but I don't need that much. Does all of this

sound correct to you? Phil was incorrect when he said I was 80. I wlll

be 85 in August this year. So if I sound a little dense on some subjects

forgive me as the old computer (brain) just doesn't function like it used

Roy,

I took Levitra daily for a year and of course, insurance

only covered half the cost of 6 pills every 34 days.

Who ever thought that one up...34 days? Anyhow,

I found it cheaper to go to Costco where I get 15

20mg. pills for 147 dollars then cut them in half.

That gives me 30 doses. Don't know if you have a

Costco around but check out what ever warehouse

stores there are and see what the cost is. You'll find

it's cheaper. Being a member is a requirement to buy

RX in most warehouse stores.

Good Luck,

May 25, 2006

Yes they pay for every thing I am a retired Engineer from the Audo industry and

in the Union. But little by little with every new contract I lose more. So far

I pay $5.00 for a 90 day supply. So I get 36 pills of Cialis every 90 days.

What happened this morning any more wood. You can try cutting them in half and

see if it works.
