Perrigo brand Test Cyp domination, thoughts?

[trt reznor]

It seems the only brand of testosterone that pharmacies here in New Orleans carry anymore is the Perrigo brand. Am I alone in finding that it just feels weaker than anything else I’ve tried? Especially compared to compounding pharmacies and even other generics, I just don’t feel the same. I just called about 10 pharmacies as sort of an experiment, including CVS Walgreens and a several locals. Perrigo was the only brand they carried. I finally found Westward at a Wal-Mart in a neighboring town and am going to give that one a try.

Thoughts and experiences?

Anecdotally, even though there's no obvious reason for it, some of us notice a difference between brands.

It feels weaker. I guess when you do Labs you'll find out. Hopefully it's just a placebo effect.

Ok even the Wal-Mart was out. The pharmacist even speculated that Perrigo might be getting a monopoly and pushing out competition. Anyone here get anything besides Perrigo where they’re at (not counting compounding pharmacies)

I have a friend that was getting Westward T for several months from Kroger pharmacy until last month. His last prescription (last month) he received Perrigo too. He felt it wasn't as strong either, but wasn't sure if it was a placebo effect or not? Hmmmmm?

I seem to see Perrigo at Walgreens and Westward at CVS around here

I never used Perrigo, but Westward is my preferred brand. Less sides then compounded and Pfizer for me. YMMV

low cost, low quality competitor

Where can I get other brands?

Anyone have any comments on Empower’s compounded test?

 

[JimboTRT]

I like Empower's testosterone the best.

Which others have you tried?

I started with empower’s T. Had lots of sides from day one. tried their compounded T as well. Same issues.

westward gave me the least issues and “feels” the best to me. Followed by Pfizer.

Those are the only three I have tried.

Sides include heart palpitations, stinky sweat, oily skin, etc.

Yes...I hear you out their saying, “those issues are common with TRT”.
I agree.....but....I can definitely “feel” a difference in the brands and the above mentioned sides are less or non existent FOR ME with the Westward.

I haven't tried Westward. But I can say that Pfizer is way better for me than empowers compounded cyp..also brand name Enanthate was good for me too. Empowers cyp feels like I'm injecting water.

westward is the best brand ive used besides the name brand depo test..
i happen to be allergic to perrigo ! and had to call 911 in 2018 from it. i thought i was having a heart attack .so my doctor writes NO perrigo.. .but ive been having the same problem and did some research..

there is a big back order and shortage of Test cyp. brands ... i had to search like u did . the past 8 months ive been good getting westward now everywhere is out and cant get it ...

i just found a MOM and POP pharmacy that ordered Wilshire Pharma for me ... i hope its ok... i will be getting it tommorow......

i relly like westward .......its almost impossible to get right now in NYC n NJ .. perrigo is the devil....

i dont understand why i see so many brands out there but the pharmacys cant get them. i saw SANDOZ , ACTIVAS , TEVA all big drug companies ... yet no one can get a hold of them... I just got WILSHIRE pharma brand but didnt try it yet..

I've used Perrigo for 2.5 years. I have no issues. I inject 2x a week total of 110mg and had total t at about 750 trough.

I need to retract this statement. I switched back to empower cyp recently and have actually not noticed any difference this time around
