Hi Everyone,

Does anyone allow patients to bring in MDVs of Testosterone filled at a retail pharmacy to be administered in the office? If you do, how do you manage these vials (BUD, transfer devices, etc)? Are you sending back with the patient or storing on site? At what points do you require a witness?

Thank you,

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?
