I am in Canada, I've been on Depo T injection since my castration Sep 2016, went to the pharmacy for my refill, they said they are out of stock!! Called other pharmacy in town, all gone! they said the drug company no longer produce them. I rather pay $23 for 10 week, not the gel $125/month.

I'm on testosterone cypionate, seems to work well for me and I've not heard of any outages. Multiple companies manufacture it.

I guess the shortage is only in Canada then.

Do you want to try "Nebido" (made in Germany), one shot last 3 months. I have a couple vials that I don't use.

Nebido isn't a good idea...
Testosterone Depot is available from many producers and cypionate is the same thing as enanthate if you looking on the results.
Ask your drugstore about alternatives! There are many of them.

There have been regional and national shortages of testosterone compounds since they have been heavily advertised as the answer to old age, tiredness and many other more or less normal conditions of men. The advertising has died down but the demand continues to the enrichment of drug manufactures. --FLO--

The shortage may be hitting testosterone now? There has been a shortage of injectable estrogen for quite some time which has really been affecting transwomen. The reason for it was the company that made one of the ingredients ceased production and the manufacturers had to find another supplier. Even though it was the same ingredient, because it is a different supplier, they apparently had to get new approval from the FDA. And of course being a bureaucracy, the FDA has been dragging their feet. If the shortage hits T, maybe that will mobilize the "old men" in Washington to get someone off their butt and approve new ingredients.

Are you pharmacist or have you use it yourself to say that "Nebido isn't a good idea" ?

No, he's a walking pharmacy, trying all kind of drugs and potions, never anything conclusive for lack of longevity. Easily dismissed.

On nebido the most people have to high levels over long time and then too low levels also over long time.
Theoretically a good idea with long esters, but they are too long and not under your control if you have inject it.
