Why is an injection kit mandatory with my TRT medication?

As we have migrated to Hormn, all TRT orders now have a mandatory injection kit added to them, which costs $50.

As the prescriber of your treatment, Hormn is committed to supporting the safe administration of your medication. To ensure patients have access to suitable, sterile, and high-quality injection supplies, we provide an injection kit with every treatment order.

We cannot verify the quality, sterility, suitability, or condition of injection equipment sourced elsewhere. Using inappropriate, damaged, expired, or unsuitable equipment may increase the risk of infection, inaccurate dosing, or injection site complications.

By including a standardised injection kit with every order, Hormn ensures patients receive appropriate injection supplies from a trusted supplier while maintaining a consistent standard of care.
