A member asked:
Endocrinologist hi. i am on 2 iu's of human growth hormone along with 1 cc weekly of testosterone. how long are they in my system after stopping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They differ: Hi. The growth hormone is not a depot preparation, and it's gone in 24 hours. The testosterone is a depot preparation and has a half-life of about a week. Using the 5 half-life rule of thumb, after about 5 weeks, you'll be running on fumes.
