question from a user
What is the maximum dose/week that is legally available to prescribe? I've heard 400/week?
AlphaMD's Answer
There really isn't one. You can write for whatever you want, but the DEA states that 200mg and below is normal for use. They don't bat an eye at it. We have men who run at more than that in our practice, some even much higher, but there's a reason for it. You always need to be able to back up the call if the DEA comes knocking. If you look at someone's practice & 95% of their patients are on 400mg/week and the DEA ever looks at them, it probably wouldn't go well. The DEA scares providers a hell of a lot more than bodybuilders looking for more. They put providers in jail, not just fine them.
