question from a user

Once a week vs twice a week for women? Lower doses/more frequent decrease aromatization? And if you’re injecting small doses like 2-6mg is there a large difference doing it subq vs IM? I know that’s a few questions so if you don’t address all of them no worries

AlphaMD's Answer

Twice a week is recommended to prevent T levels dropping into the symptomatic range at the end of the week. More stable levels typically mean less side-effects while also providing consistent symptomatic relief.

Yes, lower doses reduce aromatization. Splitting the once weekly shot in half also reduces aromatization.

SQ is the preferred method of administration due to a slower and more steady absorption rate, resulting in more stable serum levels.
