Hello,

Using testosterone injection 200 mg for a long period of time can increase your risk of liver problems. These problems include liver cancer and hepatitis.

This drug may also raise your risk of developing blood clots in your lungs or the deep veins of your legs. And the required dose should be 200 mg injection at the interval of 2-3 weeks.

Vyvanse can be taken for a longer period.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
