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 your prescriber, Hormn is clinically responsible for your safe administration of medication. This means we are obligated to ensure every patient has the correct, sterile, TGA-compliant equipment for their treatments.

We cannot verify the gauge, sterility, or condition of equipment you may have sourced elsewhere. Reusing needles, using incorrect gauges, or using expired supplies introduces risk of infection, inaccurate dosing, and injection site complications.

Supplying the kit with every order is consistent with best-practice clinical governance for self-administered injectable therapy in Australia.

Subcutaneous injection of Primoteston can cause:

The TGA-approved Product Information for Primoteston specifies intramuscular administration only.

The IM needles included in your kit are the correct gauge for this medication.

Hormn prescribes small, frequent biweekly doses rather than a single large fortnightly injection. This produces more stable testosterone levels and reduces side effects associated with hormone peaks and troughs.

Sterile vials are required to draw and measure each partial dose safely, maintaining sterility between doses.
