- 1). Have your doctor diagnose any medical conditions you may have and prescribe the proper dose of testosterone enanthate. Dosage depends on your age, condition and response to treatment and side effects. Dosages for testosterone deficiency typically range from 50 mg to 200 mg every two to four weeks. The dosages for body building are much higher than the recommended doses, ranging from 200 mg to 800 mg per week.
- 2). Inject the testosterone enanthate deeply into your buttocks muscle. Always use a fresh needle and be sure to properly sterilize the injection site. People who receive the steroid less frequently may see their doctor for the injection.
- 3). Monitor side effects carefully. Water retention is the most common side effect associated with testosterone enanthate, which detracts from muscle definition. Other common side effects include oily skin, acne, aggressiveness ("'roid rage"), excess body hair and male pattern baldness. Long-term use of high-dose testosterone enanthate may lead to hepatitis or liver cancer.
- 4). Reduce unpleasant side effects by cycling testosterone enanthate. For example, inject yourself for six weeks followed by six weeks without injections. The incidence of side effects rises with higher doses, and natural hormone production decreases with prolonged use of testosterone enanthate. However, discontinuing the steroid may affect muscle mass. Cycling reduces the severity of side effects while maintaining bulk. Never cycle doses without consulting with your doctor.
- 5). Take missed doses as soon as possible after you realize your error. Resume your normal dosing schedule with the next regular dose. Never take two doses at the same time.
