My TRT doctor has been writing me a prescription for 10ml vials of 200mg Test Cyp (1ml EOW) which lasts me several months. My local pharmacy is now saying they can only get 1ml vials. So basically, rather than a one time copay of $10, I've got to pay $10/mo plus the hassle of getting it refilled every month. Anyone else having issues getting 10ml vials?

I use Walgreens and get a 10ml vial of Watson Test Cyp every 6 weeks. It could be your insurance maybe, I pay cash I don't have medical at this time.

Damn, 300mgs a week. You've got a source, not a Dr. Just kidding, but that's a hell of a TRT dose.

It's courtesy of the insurance companies. My script is 1ml a week, I used to get a 10ml bottle every month, now I get four 1ml bottles. In order to try and get around it, my Dr changed it to 2ml each week, then I got eight 1ml bottles. Insurance only allows them to fill 30 days worth of dose. That's why.

I get 1 mil every two weeks, and just like JD my insurance has me go through CVS also 1ml vial but I get ten at a time. Talk to your doc bout writing out your script for 3 to 6 months. He or she should, I told my Doc and she had no problem. Tell them it's a inconvenience for you. In this overnight Amazon world they should sign off.

Every 6 weeks on the dot I get a 10ml test Cyp by Watson. Like I stated before though I don't use insurance if that makes a difference.

R. Same, Walgreen's 10ml vial of Watson Test Cyp. Used a GoodRx coupon only paid about $40 or something. I think it may be the locations of the warehouse suppliers. I'm thinking maybe Walgreen's in Florida may use a different supplier than the state you/OP lives in.

Type GoodRx Watson 200mg/ml into Google search for prices or go to: Testosterone Cypionate Prices and Testosterone Cypionate Coupons - GoodRx (https://www.goodrx.com/testosterone-cypionate)

Then click the drop down link for 10ml of 200mg/ml - 1 vial and you get the prices of pharmacies offering discounts. Walgreen's is cheapest at: $41.44.

Since Activis (Teva) purchased Watson, the Watson TestCyp200 in the 10ml bottle has slowly become hard to find.

Westward Cyp200 in 10ml bottle is still abundant and there’s always the Pfizer$

My Dr writes them for 6 months, as the script is only good for 6 months. Still, at least for my insurance, I can only get 1 months supply filled at a pharmacy, if i want a 90 day supply i need to go through mail order.

Every body responds different, that's actually my dose as well

Update. FWIW, I found its totally an insurance issue. Went to the pharmacy and told them I wanted to pay out of pocket. 10ml was no issue. Thanks Sumguy for the GoodRx suggestion. Was $47 for a 10ml vial. Actually cheaper than insurance ($10 copay every month for 2 x 1ml vials).

While I believe it is mostly an insurance issue, I have a local pharmacy that only stocks the 1ml bottles now. The gal at the counter said they had a safety/policy change for injectibles requiring complete usage within 30-days of initial piercing. I've been on TRT almost two years, most at 160mg a week, and since changing to my current Dr. 300mg a week. Even at that dosage, I wouldn't clear a 10ml bottle in a month. Long story short--I don't use the one pharmacy at all anymore, but have remained curious when I hear about the 1ml only issues come up if it isn't something to expect to see more of.

I have great insurance at least, so the cost is pretty cheap even for the 1ml bottles, which are fine for travel, but PIA otherwise. Watson 10ml bottle runs me $20 co-pay every 6-weeks, but Pfizer its like $110.

Myndoc wrote dispense 1 10 ml bottle on my script CVS wouldn't do it but Walgreens did. Insurance only covers the 1 ml.

It’s the pharmacy hammer.. I have the same problem. You have to ask the pharmacist to try and get the multiple dose vials. You also have to make sure your dr writes the scrip for multiple dose vial. If he dose that they have to get you one. At least that’s what I was told by my local pharmacist... Cvs suck Walgreens is a little better. I have a local one I. My town. Mom and pop pharmacy and they won’t even fill it for me because they tell me they can’t get it... I don’t mind the 1 ml vials. I will tell you if you draw it out right I get roughly 1 plus two ticks on the string. So I am probably Getting 1.3 ml . I thought it was just that vial but they are all like that..
