In Australia the only commercial grade Injectable TRT medications come in 1ml pre filled syringes (Bayer Primoteston or Sustanon). This needs to be transferred into a sterile vial so we can accurately administer smaller, more frequent doses.
Our doctors prescribe small doses generally administered 2-3 times per week, which enables patients to have more stable serum testosterone levels compared to 1 large injection every 2 weeks, and results in better treatment outcomes.

Preparing Your Treatment
1. Prepare Vial
Take off the cap of the empty Vial
Wipe the rubber top with an alcohol swab
Set aside
2. Prepare Medication
Open the Primoteston box
Put the 3 plastic packets on a sterile table
Assemble the syringes with the large needles that come in each pack, as instructed on the Primoteston box
Set the three syringes aside, with the needle caps still on
For patients prescribed Sustanon, snap the top off the ampule as per instructions included, assemble a 1ml needle with a 21g Drawing needle, and set aside
Do not discard your medication packaging as it has your prescription details on it
3. Transfer to vial
Place the vial on the table upright
Remove a Primoteston needle cap, exposing the needle
Insert needle into the rubber membrane of the vial
Push down on plunger to transfer the oil into the vial
Pull back on plunger to draw in 1ml of air (this will ensure the vial is not pressurised)
Repeat steps 2-5 with the remaining two Primoteston syringes
For Sustanon patients, draw 1ml into the syringe, and inject into the vial with the above instructions
4. Preparing your dose
Set aside: 1 x syringe, 1 x 25g needle, 1 x 21g needle
Remove the packaging of the above items
Connect the 21g needle to the low dead space syringe
Hold the vial in one hand, and the assembled syringe in the other hand
Insert the needle into the vial
Rotate the vial, so that the rubber top is facing the floor.
Proceed to pull down on the plunger to the prescribed dose on the syringe
Ensure there is no air in the syringe
Rotate the vial, so that the rubber top is facing the sky
Remove needle from vial
Pull down on the plunger to pull in any oil that may be stuck in the needle, into the syringe - it is OK if you pull in some air too
Remove the 21g needle
Put on the 25g needle
Aim the needle directly vertical and slowly remove any air
Double check that your prescribed dose is on the syringe
5. Injecting your dose
NOTE: This medication is only to be injected intramuscularly, not subcutaneously.
Select your injection site
Wipe it with an alcohol swab
Wait 10 seconds to dry
Take a deep breath and relax the muscle
Insert needle in a swift motion
Slowly press down on plunger to inject the oil
Remove needle once done
Put needle into the sharps container
Put syringe into your bin
For patients who travel regularly:
please do not put all of the Primoteston in the vial, as you will need to keep medication in original packaging with prescription label when going through customs. Transfer as much is needed when overseas, and do not bring back the used vial.
