Testosterone is an androgenic and anabolic steroid and is widely used to cure many testosterone deficiencies. It is widely distributed and quite safe, and totally beneficial to people. A Testosterone suspension was the first drug developed using testosterone as a steroid in the 1930’s. It is an injectable substance that is a mixture of water and testosterone in specific amounts. This injection is water-based, so it is easily absorbed by the human body. It has no ester attached, and not a painful injection like other oil or glycol-based testosterone injections. It is a good choice for the use of testosterone.

Unlike other testosterone mixtures or class II anabolic steroids, it gives immediate results without pain and other side effects like nausea, vomiting and headache. It has a very small cycle in the body, and gets destroyed completely in 2-3 days. This injection of testosterone is useful for muscle injury at specific sites. If it is injected at the injury site in low doses, then it can repair only that area quickly (in 2-3 days); therefore it is called site specific. Like all other anabolic, androgenic steroids it helps the body to become strong. It is much like testosterone propionate in its action. Testosterone is an androgen, and has basic importance in secondary sex characteristics, which makes testosterone very useful for boys with delayed puberty (due to testosterone deficiency). It can also be useful for some men that experience a deficiency due to tumours or other clinical reasons.

There are side effects of this anabolic steroid, such as water retention, bulking and deepening of the voice. It can also result in virilization in women at high doses. It is safe at low doses but if taken in high amounts, along with mixing with some other steroids, then it can be very harmful and cause damage. So always take it under supervision by a physician.
