    Compounded Testosterone VS. Name Brand

    I have been on HRT for 9 months. The first 6 months I was using cream and then sub lingual tablets. Finally, after so so results the doctor prescribed self injections of cypionate . I am taking 150mg EW. I have found a compounding pharmacy were I can get the cypionate much cheaper (almost half). Is there a difference in quality between compounded and name brand test. My insurance won't cover this, and right now any money I can save is a good thing.

    A legit compounding pharmacy should have to meet state regulations for quality control, so there shouldn't be an issue.

    stated before...usually the script has to be written for compounding specifically...i couldnt take my 200mg/ml script and get it compunded...i believe they need to be either compound requested on the script or a dose that reg pharmacies
