Does air exposure weaken testosterone cypionate

transetpmedia · Jul 3, 2023

I understand that testosterone has a shelf life, I am trying to understand what would make it weaken (ie temperature, light etc). Would injecting air into a vial weaken it? I experimented with injecting air into the vial a few times (maybe 5) to see if it would react with extra components in it as I was wondering if they were giving me side effects. However, sometimes it feels like my testosterone isn’t as strong, I wonder if this could weaken it or maybe it’s just in my head.

Would not fret over injecting air into the vial as it is a common practice before drawing the oily solution.

I never inject air into my vials not because I am worried about any degradation but see no point as I have never had an issue with drawing out the medication even when using an LDS insulin syringe 27-31G!

Still a quick process for me.

This sums it up.
