Testosterone Propionate inj.
The most common dosage schedule for Testosterone Propionate (men)
is to inject 50 to 100 mg, every 2nd or 3rd day. As with the more
popular esters, the total weekly dosage would be in the range of
200-400 mg. As with all testosterone compounds, this drug is most
appropriately suited for bulking phases of training. Here it is
most often combined with other strong agents such as Dianabol,
Anadrol 50 or Deca-Duralin, combinations that prove to be quite
formidable. Propionate however is sometimes also used with non
aromatizing anabolics/androgens during cutting or dieting phases
of training, a time when its' fast action and androgenic nature
are also appreciated. Popular stacks include a moderate dosage of
propionate with an oral anabolic like Winstrol (15-35 mg daily),
Primobolan (50-150 mg daily) or Oxandrolone (15-30 mg daily).
Provided the body fat percentage is sufficiently low, the look of
dense muscularity can be notably improved (barring any excess
estrogen buildup from the testosterone). We can further add a
non-aromatizing androgen like Trenbolone, which should have an
even more extreme effect on subcutaneous body fat and muscle
hardness. Of course with the added androgen content any related
side effects will become much more pronounced.
INDICATIONS :
Testosterone propionate is a commonly manufactured, oil-based
injectable testosterone compound. The added propionate ester will
slow the rate in which the steroid is released from the injection
site, but only for a few days. Testosterone propionate is
therefore comparatively much faster acting than other testosterone
esters such as cypionate or enanthate, and requires a much more
frequent dosing schedule. While cypionate and enanthate are
injected on a weekly basis, propionate is generally administered
(at least) every third day. Figure one illustrates a typical
release pattern after injection. As you can see, levels peak and
begin declining quickly with this ester of testosterone.
To make Testosterone Propionate even more uncomfortable to use,
the propionate ester can be very irritating to the site of
injection. In fact, many sensitive individuals choose to stay away
from Testosterone Propionate completely, their body reacting with
a pronounced soreness and low-grade fever that may last for a few
days. Even the mild soreness that is experienced by most users can
be quite uncomfortable, especially when taking multiple injections
each week. The standard esters like enanthate and cypionate, which
are clearly easier to use, are therefore much more popular among
athletes
Those who are not bothered by frequent injections will find that
propionate is quite an effective steroid. It is of course of
powerful mass drug, capable of producing rapid gains in size and
strength. At the same time the buildup of estrogen and DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
will be pronounced, so typical testosterone side effects are to be
expected. Some do consider Testosterone Propionate to be the
mildest testosterone ester, and the preferred form of this hormone
for dieting/cutting phases of training. Some will go so far as to
say that propionate will harden the physique. while giving the
user less water and fat retention than one typically expects to
see with a testosterone. Realistically however, this is nonsense.
The ester is removed before testosterone is active in the body,
and likewise the ester cannot alter the activity of the parent
steroid in any way, only slow its release. We can say that
propionate might be the favored testosterone among female
bodybuilders (for those who insist on testosterone use!) as blood
levels are easier to control with it compared to other esters.
Should virilization symptoms develop, one would not wish to wait
the weeks needed for testosterone concentrations to fall after a
shot of enanthate for example.
During a typical Testosterone Propionate cycle one will see action
that is consistent with a testosterone. Users sensitive to
gynecomastia may therefore need to addition an antiestrogen. Those
particularly troubled may find that a combination of Nolvadex and
Proviron works especially well at preventing/halting this
occurrence. Also unavoidable with a testosterone are androgenic
side effects like oily skin, acne, increased aggression and
body/facial hair growth. Those who may have a predisposition for
male pattern baldness may also find that propionate will aggravate
this condition. To help combat this we also have the option of
adding Proscar,
which will reduce the buildup of DHT in many androgen target
tissues. This will help minimize related side effects
(particularly hair loss) although it offers us no guarantees. And
as with all testosterone products, propionate will also suppress
endogenous testosterone production. The use of a testosterone
stimulating drug like HCG and/or Clomid is therefore almost a
requirement in order to avoid enduring a post-cycle crash.
The most common dosage schedule for Testosterone Propionate (men)
is to inject 50 to 100 mg, every 2nd or 3rd day. As with the more
popular esters, the total weekly dosage would be in the range of
200-400 mg. As with all testosterone compounds, this drug is most
appropriately suited for bulking phases of training. Here it is
most often combined with other strong agents such as Dianabol,
Anadrol 50 or Deca-Durabolin, combinations that prove to be quite
formidable. Propionate however is sometimes also used with non
aromatizing anabolics/androgens during cutting or dieting phases
of training, a time when its' fast action and androgenic nature
are also appreciated. Popular stacks include a moderate dosage of
propionate with an oral anabolic like Winstrol (15-35 mg daily),
Primobolan (50-150 mg daily) or Oxandrolone (15-30 mg daily).
Provided the body fat percentage is sufficiently low, the look of
dense muscularity can be notably improved (barring any excess
estrogen buildup from the testosterone). We can further add a
non-aromatizing androgen like Trenbolone, which should have an
even more extreme effect on subcutaneous body fat and muscle
hardness. Of course with the added androgen content any related
side effects will become much more pronounced.
Women who absolutely must use an injectable testosterone should
only use this preparation. The Testosterone Propionate dosage
schedule should also be more spread out for a female bodybuilder,
with injections coming every 5 to 7 days. The dosage obviously
would be lower as well, generally in the range of 25 mg to 50 mg
per injection. Androgenic activity should be less pronounced with
this schedule, giving blood levels time to sufficiently decrease
before the drug is administered again. In order to further reduce
any risks, the duration of this cycle should not exceed 8 weeks.
Should a stronger anabolic effect be needed, a small amount of
Duramin (Deca-Duralin if unavailable), Oxandrolone or Winstrol
could be added. Of course the risk of noticing virilizing effects
from these drugs may increase, even with the addition of a mild
anabolic. Since many of the masculinizing side effects of steroid
use can be irreversible, it is very important for the female
athlete to monitor the dosage, duration and incidence of side
effects very closely.
COMPOSITION:
Each Injection 100 mg. ampoule contains :
Testosterone propionate 25 mg. & Testosterone Ethan-ate 110 mg
Each Injection 250 mg. ampoule contains :
Testosterone Ethan-ate 250 mg.
MODE OF ACTION:
Testosterone Propionate : It is a highly anabolic as well as
androgenic steroid. I t is a common oil-based inject able
testosterone. The added propionate extends the activity of the
testosterone but it is still comparatively much faster acting than
other testosterone esters such as cypionate and enanthate.
Propionate is most commonly injected at least every third day to
keep blood levels steady. This drug is quite effective for
strength and muscle mass gains. Propionate is often very painful
injection.
Testosterone enanthate : It is derivative of the primary
endogenous androgen testosterone, for intra muscular
administration. In their active form, androgens have a 17-beta
hydroxy group. Esterification of the 17-beta-hydroxy group
increases the duration of action of testosterone, hydrolysis to
free testosterone occurs in vivo.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Endogenous androgen are responsible for the
normal growth and development of the male sex organs and for
maintenance of secondary sex characteristics. These effects
include growth and maturation of prostate, seminal vesicles, penis
and scrotum, development of male hair distribution such as beard,
pubic, chest and axillary hair, laryngeal enlargement, vocal chord
thickening, alterations in body musculature and fat distribution.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Testosterone esters less polar than free testosterone.
Testosterone esters in oil injected intramuscularly are absorbed
slowly from the lipid phase, thus testosterone enantate can be
given at intervals of two to four weeks.
Testosterone in plasma is 98% bound to a specific testostrone
estradiol binding globulin and about 2 % is free. The free
testostrone concentrate will determine its half life.
About 90% of a dose of testosterone is excreted in the urine as
glucoronic and sulfuric acid conjugates of testosterone and its
metabolites, about 6 % of a dose is excreted in the feces, mostly
in the unconjugated form.
INDICATIONS:
MALES:
Testosterone is indicated for replacement therapy in conditions
associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous
testosterones. Primary Hypogonadism ( Congenital or acquired ) :
Testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion,
orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome or orchidectomy.
Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (Congenial or acquired): Idiopathic
gonadotropin or leuteinizing hormone-releasing hormone ( LHRH )
deficiency or pituitary-hypothalmic injury from tumors, trauma or
radiation. Delayed Puberty : Testosterone may be used to stimulate
puberty in carefully selected males with clearly delayed puberty.
FEMALES:
Metastatic mammary cancer : Testosterone may be used secondarily
in women with advancing inoperable metastatic ( skeletal ) mammary
cancer who are one to five years post menopausal.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
Total doses above 400 mg per month are not required because of the
prolonged action of the preparation.
Male Hypogonadism: As replacement therapy i.e. For eunuchism, the
dosage is 50 to 400 mg every 2 to 4 weeks.
In Males with Delayed Puberty: Dosage is within the range of 50 to
200 mg, every 2 to 4 weeks for a limited duration ( 4 to 6 months
).
In Females: Palliation of Inoperable Mammary Cancer : A dosage of
200-400 mg every 2 to 4 weeks is recommended.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Androgens are contraindicated in men with carcinomas of the breast
or with known or suspected carcinomas of the prostate and in women
who are or may become pregnant.
PRECAUTIONS:
Peliosis hepatis can be fatal complication, The androgen should be
discontinued, if cholestatic hepatitis with jaundice appears.
Geriatric patients may be a the risk for the development of
prostatic hypertrophy and prostatic carcinoma.
Caution is required in patients with pre existing cardiac, renal
