Why do doctors prescribe orals (all the time) without a TEST base?

[UrbanDawg]

I know an older guy who was prescribed an oral AAS for HRT. The doctor is not injecting him with a TEST base.

I dont get it since even if we assume the pills are just replacing his diminished TEST - the treatment is shutting him down even more.

What are the pills? Are they Andriol? Andriol is test.

Yep. That's probably what they are. Andriol = testosterone undecanoate

DHT and its dervivatives, bind to the androgen receptor 4X as strong as testostrone, thats probaly why.

Is this why Halo (pure androgenic) can be done solo with minimal PCT required ?

Or does Halo do it differently ?

I've never done Halo, but what I can tell you is that it is a derivative of test, therefore it will shut down your Hypo-pituatary pathway pretty darn quick. Soo you do need to seriously consider PCT with this drug.

I've done a 4 week halo only cycle with only trib for pct, and I didn't miss a beat.
