SDV's of Testosterone Cypionate Injection

Testosterone cypionate injection comes in both single-dose vials and multi-dose vials. The packaging label states the single-dose vial is intended for a single dose.

Questions:
-For community/outpatient, do your pharmacies dispense the 1 ml single-dose vials to be used for multiple dosing?
-For hospital/clinic, does your hospital/clinic administer multiple doses from single vials?
-What strategies are being used, if any, to reduce costs and waste associated with using multiple single-dose vials?
