A 34-year-old man with low testosterone is prescribed Sustanon 250 every 28 days, and Dr. O’Connor explains why the dose should be divided into smaller, more frequent testosterone injections.
Video Summary
A 34-year-old man with low testosterone asks about a Sustanon 250 injection schedule. Dr. O’Connor strongly disagrees with giving 250 mg every 28 days because Sustanon contains four testosterone esters and such widely spaced dosing can produce large hormonal peaks and troughs.
Instead, he discusses dividing Sustanon into much smaller, more frequent doses. Dr. O’Connor gives examples ranging from approximately 0.3 to 0.35 mL every five to seven days to even smaller doses given every other day with an insulin syringe.
The goal is to provide steadier testosterone exposure rather than repeatedly moving from very high to very low levels over a four-week injection cycle.

- More frequent testosterone dosing may reduce the large hormonal peaks and troughs produced by widely spaced injections.
