Bayer Primoteston Depot – 250 mg

How it is given:

Primoteston Depot is injected slowly into the muscle by your doctor. Experience shows that the shortlasting reactions (urge to cough, coughing fits, difficulty in breathing) which occur in very rare cases during or immediately after the injection of oily solutions can be avoided by injecting the solution slowly.

How much is given:

Before treatment with Primoteston Depot, your doctor will measure your blood testosterone levels. Initially, one prefilled syringe is injected into the muscle every 2 – 3 weeks by your doctor. The injection interval will depend on your testosterone levels. To maintain the effect of Primoteston Depot, 1 prefilled syringe is injected into the muscle every 3 – 4 weeks.

Your doctor will decide how often your injection interval is, based on results from blood testosterone tests conducted during treatment with Primoteston Depot.

If you are given too much (overdose):

As Primoteston Depot is given to you under the supervision of your doctor, it is very unlikely that you will receive too much. However if you experience any side effects after being given it, tell your doctor immediately.

Storage:

Keep Primoteston Depot in the pack until it is time to use it. Keep Primoteston Depot in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight where the temperature stays below 25°C. Do not store Primoteston Depot or any other medicine in the bathroom or near a sink. Do not leave it on a window sill or in the car. Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines.
