on going testosterone shortages and discontinuation updates
- Thread starter Stiranko
- Start date
A lot of the time I have to wait until the following week to fill my prescription. God bless my doctor tho, he prescribes enough to make sure I can get by with the shortages.
Yes, but keep in mind that testosterone is still a very low demanding drug compared to other RX drugs such as SSRIS for example. And it's not considered a life threatening drug that could cause severely withdrawal problems such as benzos or opiates. So there really is no rush to get it quicker as no one will ever die or going into a psychosis from stopping testosterone. You might feel a bit depressed and low energy.
Pfizer actually produces their owns raws and so do most branded companies.
What’s the angst against the Hikma branded testosterone? I only ask as I’ve been given these for approx 8 months for my TRT and my levels have been completely fine. No dose change or anything.
Just curious what other people’s concern or issues are?

Do you use hikma and if you do are you satisfied with it?
Technology required is great to synthase. Knowledge and required elements is low. Profit is low. Not worth it. Purchase outsource. Production continues in China unabated legally and it gets distributed to the world. Certain countries make certain things. Higher the tech the country is the more focused on profitable product gets focused. If push comes to shove test will be produced in NA but the government might have to call it critical medicine to do it and that comes at a premium price- just regular business. There really is not a shortage on the legit market. Mexico's cash grab sucks.
Hey brother.
Good read. Thank you for this and sharing. I guess I’m lucky at this point. All bloods have been excellent. So I won’t complain one bit but it’s good to see and hear others experiences because you never know.

One of the things discussed is that blood work seems to come back fine with hikima it’s actually the individual variation in response and low T symptoms.
If it’s working as it should for you then great. Especially since Taro seems to be on back order in places.
Thanks @KetoMuscles. Appreciate the clarification brother. That’s a valid point. I should have mentioned that also. Outside of bloodwork, no low t symptoms or any negative changes in that respect. Which again I could be just a lucky one but it doesn’t seem to have changed at all.

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried the original Delateatryl or the branded depo testosterone by Pfizer?
Almost done with Depot, hopping on Delatestryl nexr 
Got a message from an associate that all raws are currently available from his facility and there is zero shortage of anything. Sources would do better to think outside the box on this issue. At this point it's about who is willing to pay the costs of raws when people perceive a shortage. This is more about governmental regulatory measures and restricting citizen access to goods so that Basic Universal Income and Healthcare will be voted YES by the population because this will be a platform issue. Does anybody realize there are no shortages on veterinarian meds?

Just in time to vote for a Social Credit Score System there will be a promise to ensure consistent supply of script meds.
Don't fall for the lies and propaganda.

Those of us that use AAS would love it if your correct. However, your associate is not someone we know anything about so as such as zero credibility here. However to give you the benefit of the doubt have your "Associate" email me
What I hear from many sources out there that is that they cannot get raws and if they manage to get them in most cases they find they where scammed and those raws where not what they where supposed to be. In addition the little raw labs find have doubled and tripled in price.
One thing I know for sure is that the larger labs here in Canada are being run by smart men/woman that are not "new". They have contacts that they have done business with for years. If your "associate " is fully stocked then they would be as well
Making a statement like yours needs proof to back it up.

@Taureau I appreciate you calling me out.
You are correct that I have zero credibility is quoting a source without naming him. And, naming him will cost me my life - but you, of any person here, already know that too.
And, also, as you know, I am very aware that there are smart men and women operating successful businesses in Canada.
I will surely keep such comments to myself in future posts. Thank you for your reminder about forum rules and general etiquette.
WOW that way more than buddy from CJM got a dozen years ago in the parking lot in Oakville.
