    Hey guys, curious if anyone has encountered crystals in actual pharmacy test cyp? I went to inject today and found this:

    Any ideas? Wasn't any colder than normal where I store it, and its obviously legit as its from the pharmacy. Would you try to heat it up or take it back to the pharmacy? There's about 1/4 left in the bottle.
    Thanks,

    It crashed. I would take it back and let them replace it. If you dont want to then you can boil some water, turn off the heat and place the vial in the water for 15+ minutes. Wait a couple of days and to see if it crashes again, hopefully not.

    Thanks man, That's what I was afraid of. I'll take it to my pharm on Monday, hopefully they won't give me any hassle. I've heard of this on ugl etc, but is it strange to see it in a name brand pharm grade?

    is it from a compounding pharmacy? that's the problem of compounded test, I just got rid of two full vials only few months old! every time I used it I got an infection, but never when I use Costco brand or other pharmacy brands.

    It's from a compounding pharmacy, but its Watson. They only compound when they need to. I'm hoping they don't give me any hassle as its about 1/4 full. They've been really good honest people so I'm hoping they'll just exchange it and send my bottle back to Watson.

    Actually at 3 months could be a problem so if its plausable tell them its only been 20 days since you first pinned. Most manufacturers suggest disposal of any septum topped vial after 30-60 days once the septum has been punctured, naturally this would not be the reason it crashed but it would give them an out.

    As far as pharm grade gear crashing it happens but usually only with exposure to cold temps. By the way as said if they don't wanna refund just warm the gear and if it holds then its fine to use.

    This shit kills me, I hear this often...sure glad I brew my own so I don't have to deal with some corner drug store croaker sneezing and geezing in my gear.

    Update: I took it in to my pharmacy and right away the pharmacist said it had crashed and was unacceptable. He gave me a new bottle and said he'd contact Watson tomorrow. He asked if I had refrigerated it or left it in the car, just to check, but said it can happen , but shouldn't. Great experience! I love my independent compounding pharmacy. So much nicer to deal with than a large chain.
