Testosterone suspension is the purest form of testosterone. Most forms of testosterone are mixed with esters, but testosterone suspension is unique in that it is void of any esters, thus making it 100% pure. Testosterone suspension acts quickly and effectively in the body. However, since it does not have any esters mixed with it, it can keep the elevated testosterone levels only for 2-3 days.
Testosterone Suspension recommended dosages for intramuscular injection:
- Only Replacement therapy: 25-50 mg 2-3 times/week
