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.
