Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

We got following prescription from a doctor: Testosterone 2 G lanolin 50 g vaseline 50 g

Testosterone is not available as a vracproduct, just testosterone propionate. Can testosterone propionate also be used in this preparation (and in the same quantity as the base) or will it give availability problems?

Answer

There is little choice! Now in this case the changeover is even favorable; Think of all the esters of the corticosteroids, which are used. And this for better recording. To the small difference caused by the higher molecular mass, I would not be too much to deal with. Conversion is of course not out of the question!
