Rotexmedica Testosterone Enanthate Germany 1 ml amp (250 mg/ml)

Testosterone Enanthate

Testosterone plays a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of male sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics. This potent hormone significantly influences the development of the prostate, testes, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum, while also promoting overall body growth. While primarily recognized as an androgenic hormone, it also exhibits remarkable anabolic properties—facilitating protein synthesis and enhancing nitrogen balance with a nutrient-dense, low-calorie diet.

Additionally, testosterone stimulates erythropoietin (EPO) production in the kidneys, resulting in increased red blood cell production and improved oxygen delivery in the body. Prolonged use of testosterone can disrupt the release of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, potentially impeding spermatogenesis, especially at elevated dosages.

Dosage

Testosterone enanthate (Delatestryl) is designed for slow dissolution post-intramuscular injection, limiting administration to 1-2 times monthly. This esterified formulation is intended exclusively for intramuscular use, as the esterification extends the action duration. It’s typically presented as a clear suspension in sesame oil, with medical dosages ranging between 250-500 mg monthly.

Indications

Delatestryl is prescribed for conditions marked by testosterone deficiency or absence, including:

• Primary hypogonadism due to testicular damage.
• Hypogonadism resulting from pituitary gland failure.
• Delayed puberty.

In women diagnosed with breast cancer, testosterone may help counter estrogen’s effects, acting as an alternative to ovariectomy.

Long-term therapy is often necessary for patients with testosterone deficiency until secondary sexual characteristics are established and growth is satisfactory.

Duration

Treatment duration with testosterone enanthate varies based on factors such as age, sex, diagnosis, treatment response, and side effects. Generally, the medication is well-tolerated when used as directed. It must be administered in the gluteal muscle, not subcutaneously, with injection sites rotated to mitigate abscess risk. An alternative injection site is the outer thigh, with intravenous administration being strictly prohibited. The monthly dose should not exceed 1000 mg due to prolonged effects; bi-weekly use is extremely rare. Prior to injection, the formulation—usually a clear, colorless/ yellow suspension—should be inspected for expiration, indicated by particles or clumping. Typical treatment spans 4-6 months, with storage at room temperature.

Bodybuilders

Many bodybuilders utilize Delatestryl during offseason training due to its sustained action; its use is typically avoided during competitive seasons. The compound boasts both anabolic and androgenic properties, although results may take 3-4 weeks to manifest. Bodybuilders often combine it with other anabolic steroids like GH or thyroxine. Given testosterone’s conversion to estrogen in adipose tissue, some users might experience unwanted side effects such as gynecomastia and water retention. Recommended dosages for muscle gain range from 250-1000 mg per week, with caution advised against higher doses due to potent side effects. Protein mass increases gradually, notwithstanding enhanced red blood cell production, which can improve exercise performance. Testosterone enanthate is often favored for its availability and range of benefits, including health enhancement, athletic performance boost, and positive nitrogen balance. Studies highlight its potential to splice fat while building muscle mass, with detection times in urine after discontinuation of several weeks. Some users may utilize diuretics to counteract dramatic water retention or cycle with drugs like Arimidex or Tamoxifen to mitigate gynecomastia risks.

Women

All testosterone analogues carry risks of virilizing effects in women, which may include deepening of the voice, excess hair growth, menstrual irregularities, mood swings, and clitoral enlargement. It’s advised to discontinue use at the first signs of virilization, as some symptoms may not be reversible.

Side Effects

Like all anabolic steroids, testosterone enanthate may cause side effects, generally mild and well-tolerated. Commonly reported issues after 3-4 months of treatment include:

• Irrregular bleeding.
• Virilization.
• Voice deepening.
• Clitoral enlargement.
• Gynecomastia.
• Painful erections.
• Acne, oily skin, hair loss.
• Water retention.
• Nausea, vomiting, jaundice.
• Rare liver cancer.
• Mental health changes, headaches, anxiety.
• Elevated cholesterol levels.

While most effects are reversible, breast enlargement and some virilizing symptoms may persist. The concurrent use of estrogens for lessening virilization side effects is not always effective. In pediatric cases, testosterone must be carefully monitored, as it can accelerate bone maturation without enhancing compensatory growth, leading to a distorted anatomy.

Warnings

Testosterone should be prescribed with caution in patients experiencing:

• Breast cancer or hypercalcemia.
• Liver dysfunction.
• Prostate cancer.
• Cardiac issues.

Some reports link testosterone enanthate injections to dry cough and respiratory distress, possibly related to the formulation or an oil impurity.

Regular monitoring of liver enzymes and blood hematocrit levels is recommended to ensure they remain within safe parameters.

Recognition

Due to its prolonged half-life, testosterone enanthate remains detectable in urine long after discontinuation. It can typically be identified for 3-4 weeks post-use, with advanced testing methods detecting traces in hair for up to 2-4 months after cessation. However, current testing for testosterone enanthate has limitations, with significant false-negative rates observed in approximately 50% of steroid users based on testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratios.

Cost

Legal access to testosterone enanthate is challenging. Many bodybuilders resort to the black market, where generic formulations are prevalent, particularly in Europe and Mexico. Prices range from $10-$20 for a 250 mg vial. Due to increased regulatory scrutiny by the DEA over the past two decades, buyers must be vigilant to avoid counterfeit products.
