    gelatin like substance formed at botton of Watson bottle

    I'll take a picture if I can't get anyone who has had similar happen. Is this okay or should I take the bottle back to my pharmacy? I've had it for about 3 weeks or so and just noticed it today when I was prepping my injection for this evening. Ideas? Input?

    Wow, that's a big no-no. Especially coming from a big generic producer like Watson Labs. Dont use it. I'd immediately return that to the Pharmacy. If they give you crap, call Watson directly & let them know. Whatever it is (production error, fungal growth) it should not be present in a sterile solution for IM...

    just watch the injection site and make sure it doesn't get red or infected, if so simply tell you doc so he can take care of the infection and get you a new vial.

    This happens with Test Cyp sometimes.
    It just crashed. How cold do you keep your house?
    You don't need to check for infection or worry.
    Just reheat it by sitting it in boiling water for a few minutes (until the hormone crystals dissolve).

    I tried to crash my watson test cyp by placing in freezer for several hours and it never crashed.

    Plenty of guys have had Watson cyp crash on them.
    I believe there are even reheating instructions in the insert.

    Shouldn't have said anything.. This morning I was having a hard time breathing from my nose and it sounds like I might be coming down with a cold... gonna take the bottle in to my pharmacist just to be safe and seeing my gp tomorrow for any infection.

    Good question, I keep mine stored inside the box in the bathroom. We have one of those frosted window's in our bathroom so it's very protected from the sun. Should I store it in a cabinet instead?

    My watson stuff crashed on me, but it took a lot longer than 3 weeks to do so. Problem is each time I use it I have to reheat it. Oh well I used the last of it the other day. If it has just been 3 weeks I would try to get them to exchange it, if they won't then simply reheat it, sounds like you just have a cold, would watch the area though. Came down with a cold last night myself, minor annoyance.

    IMO, I wouldnt touch any vial that has debri inside of it. There's no way of telling what the substance is and/or whether it's fungal/bacterial in nature. Remember, there was a Compounding Pharmacy in New England called NECC that produced fungal infected vials of Prednisolone (I believe it was) which killed a number of people recently. Not worth the risk...

    Hey man, did you ever discover what was up with your vial? I just did my injection because I thought it was just a bit crystalized from it being fairly cool in my room. I wonder if my injection is bunk now? Anyhow, i'm going to hit up the pharmacy tomorrow, but I thought I would inquire because I just found your post & again, it looks exactly like what I have.
    Thanks for your time.

    FFS, it crashed.
    This happens all the time with Test Cyp.
    Just heat it up.

    Have the same problem.

    Had the same problem. Heated it in boiling water until it dissolved. Ended up with a pretty, clear solution and injected it with no bad results. All the same, it should not do that. I have a question about that. I think T Cyp is prone to do this, but why? Unless the concentrations are different.

    It has a higher melting point than many compounds, and hence is less soluble.
