hi, it would help if you tell us the reason for taking testosterone injections. usually we prescribe injections for people whose blood testosterone levels are down and who have problems because of that, for eg weakness, lethargy, increased sleep, loss of muscle power, poor erections, etc. These injections are to be taken only on medical advise with regular monitoring. If you are taking testosterone for bodybuilding, i cannot advise you regarding the same. But you should be aware of the side effects of these injections on long term. These would include thickening of blood due to increased red cells, aggressive behavior, balding, atrophy of testes, problems with sperm counts and so on. your choice.
