What it does

• An injectable testosterone used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), very close to cypionate and often prescribed interchangeably with it.
• The enanthate ester releases a little faster than cypionate, so levels peak and fall a little sooner between injections.
• Also sold as Xyosted, a weekly under-the-skin (subQ) autoinjector; many patients inject vials subQ with an insulin syringe as well.
• Prescription-only and a Schedule III controlled substance in the US. It comes premixed in sesame oil — there is nothing to reconstitute.
• Vial labels are for intramuscular use; Xyosted is the only version labelled for subcutaneous use.

Testosterone can raise the effect of blood thinners like warfarin (INR needs closer monitoring) and can lower blood sugar in people on insulin or diabetes medication. It can raise blood pressure and hematocrit and suppresses natural testosterone and sperm production. Regular blood work and blood pressure checks are part of treatment — use it only under a prescribing doctor.

Notes

Premixed in oil, not reconstituted. The strength comes from the vial label (usually 200mg/mL); at 200mg/mL one U-100 syringe unit is 2mg. Store at room temperature — refrigeration can crystallise it.

Side Effects

• Higher hematocrit (thicker blood).
• Higher blood pressure — the Xyosted label carries a boxed warning for it.
• Acne, fluid retention, or breast tenderness if estradiol rises.
• Lower sperm count and smaller testes while on it.

Testosterone Enanthate strengths and syringe units

Testosterone Enanthate is premixed in oil, so there is no water to add. The strength printed on the vial label sets how much one syringe unit holds. One unit is 0.01 mL on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Worked example for Testosterone Enanthate

1. Strength on the label: 200 mg/mL.
2. Example quantity: 50 mg.
3. Volume: 50 mg ÷ 200 mg/mL = 0.25 mL.
4. Syringe reading: 0.25 mL × 100 = 25 units.

Label numbers from the Dosify Me data, used to show the arithmetic. Not a recommendation of any quantity.

Frequently asked

How many units is 100 mg of Testosterone Enanthate at 200 mg/mL?

At 200 mg/mL, 100 mg of Testosterone Enanthate is 0.5 mL, which reads 50 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (each unit holds 2 mg).

How many mL is 50 mg of Testosterone Enanthate?

0.25 mL at 200 mg/mL, or 25 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. At 100 mg/mL the same dose is 0.5 mL, so check the strength printed on your vial.

Do I add bacteriostatic water to Testosterone Enanthate?

No. Testosterone Enanthate comes premixed in oil at the strength printed on the label, so there is nothing to reconstitute. The calculator only needs the strength and the dose.

How many mg is 1 mL (1 cc) of Testosterone Enanthate?

1 cc is the same volume as 1 mL. At 200 mg/mL, 1 mL holds 200 mg and 0.5 mL holds 100 mg; at 100 mg/mL, 1 mL is 100 mg. The strength is printed on the vial label.

How many doses are in a 5 mL vial of Testosterone Enanthate?

A 5 mL vial at 200 mg/mL holds 1000 mg in total. Divide that by the dose you draw: 100 mg per injection gives 10 injections, 50 mg gives 20 injections.

How often is Testosterone Enanthate taken?

2x weekly. Same days each week (e.g. Mon/Thu), any time.

How should Testosterone Enanthate be stored?

Store at room temperature, 20-25°C (68-77°F), away from light. Do not refrigerate: cold can make it crystallise. If crystals appear, warming and shaking the vial should dissolve them.
