Important Refill Note

[FRDave]

A few more important notes and excuses that will not fly:

*I dropped the bottle and it shattered: This isn't possible, the glass is tempered and if you smash it with a hammer it will crush like a car windshield, it won't shatter if you drop it. I have personally stood on top of a bottle and it didn't break.

*My bottle leaked a lot: Not possible.

I don't know if you guys have some special bottles but I dropped a bottle of prescription Watson test cyp on my kitchen tile and it shattered, making a huge oily mess.

On another occasion I got home to open up my bottle of Watson test cyp and the whole inside of the box was covered in oil where it had been leaking out the seal. I took it back to Costco and they replaced it with no issues so I was good.


Just wanted to throw it out there and these supposed excuses do indeed happen. I'm sure they are rare, but I have only been on TRT about 8 months now and have encountered 2 of your excuses that would not fly. If I were a patient, you best believe I would be pissed if you were to deny me a new bottle calling me a lair ;-)

I've dropped bottles on a tile floor and they didn't crack. I'd imagine the type of bottle can vary depending on who makes it.

Anyway, I'm sure those excuses are possible, rare but possible. Still, I'd be willing to bet a lot of guys try to use those excuses when they're not true more often than not. If you're the pharmacy or LowT what are you supposed to do in that case? Should you just take everyones word for it and give people testosterone any time they say they have a problem? I don't know what the answer to that is. It's a controlled substance and that makes it a tough question.

BTW, I agree with the comments about a bottle running weeks short...doesn't happen, not legitimately.

Hmm, I wonder if you could provide pictorial evidence or something, like filing an insurance claim when you wreck your car? lol I've dropped a bottle a couple of times on tile and it bounced like three feet high, but never shattered. All mine are Pfizer though -- wonder if different companies have different vial construction standards...

FWIW, I just started injecting and I have no problem drawing out a little more to compensate for the air bubble in the syringe. If it's true that the machine that fills these vials takes into consideration and calibrates for "spillage", there shouldn't be a shortage.

FYI: I just called my pharmacy and asked when I could bring in a new script and they gave me a date 7 days sooner than the full month since I had originally filled. They explained that they give "leeway" for Test. Nice to know. This is NEW YORK CITY - the place that gave us the Rockefeller Laws for drug "crimes".

Check with your local pharmacy. I'll bet it's the same. If it's the case, there should not be any great anxiety for refilling if you find yourself short.

Ya, I am starting to think different brands use different types of glass. That or I just have bad luck lol.

Yes, NY has very strict laws. It's the only state where testosterone is Schedule 2 instead of 3. But all pharmacies allow for a refill to take place prior to the exact date of when you're supposed to be out. The problem is when you're trying to get a refill 4 to even 10wks before you're due.
