Today we discuss testosterone’s shelf life and how long you can store testosterone for. We also look at how long testosterone can last once an ampoule or vial has been opened. Testosterones covered include Sustanon, Nebido, Enanthate, Cypionate, Propionate, Testogel and Tostran.
Sustanon: 3 Years
Nebido: 5 years
Testosterone Enanthate/Cypionate: 5 years
Testosterone Propionate: 3 years
Testogel: 3 years
Tostran Gel: 2 years
What about once you have opened a vial or ampoule?
Guidelines for vials are to use within 28 days as a rule of thumb, unless the manufacturer has specified a longer/shorter date.
Ampoules, are single use vials, and should be discarded immediately after use, even if there is medication remaining.
Now, these are the guidelines by the manufacturers, and it’s usually advisable to stick to them. However, what you do with your medication and your body is ultimately up to you and your responsibility.
