Optimal injection frequency for stable Propionate blood levels---HELP?

**Braski** · 08-12-2003, 02:28 PM

How often should one inject Test Propionate to maintain stable blood levels. I have been told every other and also every third day....Which is more accurate. Please respond if you are in the know and your information is based on fact. I have been offered many opinions but would like a bit more information to determine which routine would be best.

Thanks,

Braski

Every day is optimal, every other day is fine.

Every third day is not frequent enough to maintain fairly even blood levels.

Every other day. I believe the half life on prop is up to 60 hours, but why push it. And besides, it's fun sticking needles all the time.

I would go with eod to prevent scar tissue building up and with prop having a half-life of 4.5 days you should be fine with this

EOD, E3D if its contained within a multi-ester blend and only consists of a small portion (ie less than say <35% IMO)

You should always consider the half-life of the drug when planning a dosage regimen. Since the prop ester has an approximate t-1/2 of 4-5 days, you would maximize blood levels by dosing every 1/2 the half life, or approximately every other day. You can use every day injections if you want. Is this better? IMO no, but some feel the need for it. Just be sure you do not extend past the drugs half-life to avoid unstable blood levels. But also remember everyone differs in terms of kinetics/dynamics and metabolism of drugs, and will respond differently to any given compound. So you have the basic advice. The rest is up to you to what figure out what works best for your body.
