[TRTinNY]

Waiting for a call back from Defy Medical. Any suggestions from anyone about what to continue on with as I used this to keep my RBC count low and for daily use since i am low SHBG. Any thoughts?

LOL wtf. Sounds like more law-abiding citizens are about to be driven to use UGL sources for their legitimate medical needs. Fortunately, there are plenty of good ones.

Not going to make a shit lick a difference for us canucks as we have never had the option other than UGL!

I used to get veterinary Vetoquinol Anatest (TP) back in the day!

Slim pickins here when it comes to injectable esterified T as we only have TC (big pharma or generic) or TE and unfortunately our beloved big pharma Delatestryl was recently discontinued so now you are stuck with the generic.

Gotta love that 100 mg/mL strength TC LMFAO!

You want ND or oxo you are going UGL unless you have a legitimate medical reason to be prescribed such!

The laws are very strict in Canada!

Medical uses

Nandrolone esters are used clinically, although increasingly rarely, for people in catabolic states with major burns, cancer, and AIDS, and an ophthalmological formulation was available to support cornea healing.[18]: 134 

The positive effects of nandrolone esters include muscle growth, appetite stimulation and increased red blood cell production,[medical citation needed] and bone density.[19] Clinical studies have shown them to be effective in treating anemia, osteoporosis, and breast cancer.

Oxandrolone - Wikipedia

Medical uses

Oxandrolone has been researched and prescribed as a treatment for a wide variety of conditions. It was FDA-approved for treating bone pain associated with osteoporosis, aiding weight gain following surgery or physical trauma, during chronic infection, or in the context of unexplained weight loss, and counteracting the catabolic effect of long-term corticosteroid therapy.[16][17] Oxandrolone is used to quicken recovery from severe burns.[8][18]

In the management of severe burn injuries, numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic advantages of oxandrolone, and it was widely adopted as a standard treatment protocol in burn centers globally. Meta-analyses of clinical trials substantiate the efficacy of oxandrolone in severe burn cases: the benefits are manifold and significant, and include a reduction in catabolic weight loss, augmentation of lean body mass, enhancement of donor-site wound healing, and a decrease in the duration of both intensive care unit (ICU) and overall hospital stay. These benefits do not appear to be accompanied by an increased risk of infection, hyperglycemia, or hepatic dysfunction, which underscores the safety profile of oxandrolone in severe burn patient population.[18] Data analysis confirms oxandrolone's significant advantage in promoting skin healing as an adjunct therapy for adult burn patients.[19] Oxandrolone improves weight regain, bone mineral density, lean body mass, and accelerates wound healing for donor graft sites.[20] Oxandrolone is recommended as an adjunctive therapy, alongside insulin, metformin, and closely monitored propranolol, in severe burn patients, for metabolic and nutritional support.[21][22] Oxandrolone improves both short-term and long-term outcomes in people recovering from severe burns and was well-established as a safe treatment for this indication.[8][9] One of the underlying mechanisms in burn management is that oxandrolone helps reduce hypermetabolic response, which is characterized by increased energy expenditure, elevated stress hormones levels such as cortisol, insulin resistance, muscle wasting, and impaired wound healing; this response is reduced by improving whole-body nitrogen balance as well as preserving lean body mass during recovery.[23]

As of 2019, oxandrolone was prescribed off-label for the development of girls with Turner syndrome,[24] and counteract wasting of diverse origin.[24]

As of 2012, oxandrolone was used in the treatment of idiopathic short stature, anemia, hereditary angioedema,[25] hypogonadism and alcoholic hepatitis.[26][needs update]

Medical research established the effectiveness of oxandrolone in aiding the development of girls with Turner syndrome. Although oxandrolone had long been used to accelerate growth in children with idiopathic short stature, it is unlikely to increase adult height, and in some cases may even decrease it;[citation needed] as such, as of 2015, oxandrolone has largely been replaced by growth hormone for this use.[27][needs update] However, a 2019 Cochrane review comparing effects of adding oxandrolone to growth hormone treatment to growth hormone alone found moderate-quality evidence that the addition of oxandrolone led to an increase in final adult height of girls with Turner syndrome, and low-quality evidence showed no increase in adverse effects.[28] When the same review assessed the effects of adding oxandrolone to growth hormone treatment on speech, cognition and psychological status, the results were inconclusive due to very-low quality evidence.[28] Children with idiopathic short stature or Turner syndrome were given doses of oxandrolone far smaller than those given to people with burns to minimize the likelihood of virilization and premature maturation.[27][29][incomprehensible]

Oxandrolone shows positive effects on cardiometabolic health and visual, motor, and psychosocial functions in adolescent males with preserved testosterone production, such as those with Klinefelter syndrome.[22]

Never fear, the oral testosterone ambassador is here. You mention something about keeping RBC lower.

Look no further than Jatenzo, Orlando and Kyzatrex.

These options have a shorter half-life (6 hours vs 2 days) than propionate, ideal for RBC management in most cases.

I believe one of these is going to be available in Canada @madman.

UGL is the way to go. Source HCG too.

Try Napsgear.org. (.com)

Used for years without issues.

Ugh, that sucks, I’ve been using prop from empower for a bit now. Did defy offer any other options? All the compounding pharmacies they use discontinued making it?

Are u using prop? If so, what do u plan on doing?

the defystore has no more Tprop left indeed just checked.
i think I have to go UGL. and taking blood work in my own hands as well or just do it via general doc. will save me probably 2k/year anyways. cost was not an issue, but no way I go back to Tcyp. UGL Tprop runs 25-35usd/10ml(100mg/1ml) and you can get it various carrier oils like MCT which is superior IMHO.

Damn, even tho I trust my UGL source, I always like to go pharma whenever I can, just for the piece of mind. This is insane that defy just can no longer get it/ compounding pharmacies are just no longer making it. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

 

[t_spacemonkey]

this seems like is some business driven choice by empower, probably don't want to deal with the few Prop users. I feel like defy is dropping the ball on this too easily especially since Tprop is available through various pharmacies, even amazon pharma has its listed. not sure being tied to 1 compounding pharma is such a great business choice tbh

I had just started using it for about a month. Didn't really feel much different. I'll go back to Enanthate or Cypionate.

 

[DS3]

To confirm, it sounds like Empower is the only confirmed compounding pharmacy no longer carrier Test Prop. Does anyone has line of sight into props status with other compounding pharmacies?

 

[t_spacemonkey]

if anybody has alternatives pls let me know. trying to avoiding UGL but i think there is no alternatives to abandoning defy at this point

 

[DS3]

Revive RX also has discontinued it.
