MultiPharm HealthCare Testosterone C 10 amps (250 mg/ml)

Testosterooni tsüpionaat

Is a long-acting formulation of testosterone, specifically designed for individuals with low or absent levels of this hormone, commonly referred to as Depo testosterone. This esterified version ensures prolonged action, available exclusively as an intramuscular injection.The anabolic steroid is typically suspended in sesame or cottonseed oil, injected into the buttock, and gradually released over 7-12 days.The formulation appears as a white milky powder, insoluble in water but highly soluble in various organic solvents, including vegetable oil.

Farmakoloogia

The body naturally produces sex hormones, including testosterone, essential for the normal growth and development of secondary sexual characteristics such as prostate, testes, and body hair. When testosterone levels are deficient, development is impacted, indicating a need for testosterone therapy, especially in cases of infertility.

Kasutamise näidustused

Testosterone Cypionate is indicated for conditions related to inadequate testosterone secretion, including:

• esmane munandipuudulikkus
• pituitary gonadotropin secretion failure

Bodybuilding

Testosterone and its analogs are popular among athletes and bodybuilders for enhancing physique and boosting mental drive. Users often report bursts of energy and increased aggression, making it a favored choice for weightlifters and professional wrestlers. Many athletes assert that this steroid enhances performance during intense training.Testosterone exhibits moderate anabolic properties alongside potent androgenic effects. Due to its injection method, results may be gradual, typically taking 3-4 weeks to manifest. Compared to oral testosterone, injected formulations persist longer in the body.Extended use (4-6 weeks) can lead to muscle mass gains and improved protein synthesis, albeit alongside a calorie-rich diet. Many bodybuilders combine it with other hormones. As testosterone converts to estrogen in fatty tissues, users should be cautious of potential gynecomastia and water retention, often mitigated by adding Arimidex or tamoxifen during off cycles.With ongoing testosterone therapy, natural testosterone release may be inhibited, impacting fertility. Thus, a gradual tapering of the dosage is advised to allow recovery of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Abrupt withdrawal can result in extreme fatigue, weight loss, and increased fracture risk.

Vastunäidustused

Some individuals should avoid testosterone therapies due to potential exacerbation of existing health conditions, including:

• allergy to testosterone
• breast or prostate cancer in males
• rasedad või rinnaga toitvad naised
• maksa-, neeru- või südameprobleemidega isikud

Kõrvaltoimed

When administered at low doses, Testosterone Cypionate typically presents minimal side effects. However, prolonged use is associated with various reversible adverse effects. Females may experience irreversible virilizing side effects. Common side effects include:

• iiveldus, oksendamine
• kõhuõõne cramps, kõhulahtisus
• turse
• muutunud libiido
• peavalu
• akne, rasvane nahk
• mood fluctuations, including anger and insomnia

• süvenev hääl
• kõrvetus
• liigne karvakasv
• laienenud kliitor
• ebaregulaarne menstruatsioonitsükkel

can occur. Notably, Testosterone Cypionate converts to estrogen, potentially leading to breast enlargement and water retention after prolonged use, typically after 4 weeks, with gynecomastia reversing on discontinuation.

Üleannustamine

Overdosing on Testosterone Cypionate is rare. While acute side effects from an excess dose are uncommon, individuals might experience sickness for several weeks. In such cases, consulting a healthcare provider is advisable.

Annustamine

In clinical settings, Testosterone Cypionate is delivered as an intramuscular injection in oil-based suspensions, available in 100 mg/ml and 200 mg/ml strengths. The drug is injected into muscle tissue, typically the buttock, with dosing intervals of 7-12 days. Most Testosterone Cypionate binds to proteins, with only 2% remaining free. Weekly dosing is standard, although some bodybuilders may inject it every other day, which poses risks of abscesses and infections. When maintained over a long period, injection sites should be alternated to minimize complications. General dosing ranges from 50 mg-400 mg/week, aligned with the condition treated. Bodybuilders may administer higher doses, between 200 mg-400 mg/week, with absorption occurring gradually over subsequent days.

Kontroll

Testosterone Cypionate is classified as a controlled substance (Class 3) under the Controlled Substances Act, available in the USA only with a physician’s prescription. Possession, distribution, or sale of this anabolic steroid is illegal.

Avastamine

The oily nature of the drug allows it to remain detectable in the body long after use. Testosterone Cypionate and its metabolites can be found in urine for up to 2-3 weeks post-injection. This extended detection period leads many bodybuilders to utilize it primarily during off-seasons.

Kättesaadavus

Many bodybuilders source Testosterone Cypionate from the black market, as the original pharmaceutical version is heavily regulated in the USA. Generic versions are available from countries such as Japan, Australia, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and Thailand due to varying legality.Most bodybuilders commonly use between 200-1000 mg/week, with a vial containing 400 mg in 2 ml priced between $20-$40, potentially reaching $200 monthly, dependent on dosage. However, purity and product quality from these sources can be inconsistent, leading to concerns about counterfeit products.
