Methyltestosterone Forums

I just took my prescription to the pharmacy which I have had for 6 months. They told me the prescription was only good for 6 months because it is a controlled substance. They filled the first 3 months but said I would need a new prescription in 3 months. It is my hormone replacement which I still had some, so didn't take to the pharmacy until now. The name is Estrogen-Methyltestos F.S. Tab. How is this a controlled substance? ## It has always been a controlled substance under the Anabolic Steroids Act, due to the Methyltestosterone in it. Learn more Methyltestosterone details here. Thus, these restrictions have been in place for years, by law, but most pharmacies didn't enforce them. They tried to get around it due to the Estrogen that is also in this HRT. But recently the FDA a...

I have been informed that EEST HS is now a CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE !! I have been taking this med for several years as hormone replacement therapy. Now, my prescription plan has changed my expiration date from 1 year to 6 months, and I have to contact my physician for a triplicate controlled substance prescription which must be mailed in and cannot be faxed in. What is going on ?? When did this happen ?? ## Methyltestosterone has actually been considered a controlled substance since 1990, under the Anabolic Steroid Act. It's just that pharmacies are now being made to abide by the laws that were put in place at that time. Learn more Methyltestosterone details here. So yes, they are telling you the truth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was placed on Estrogen/Methyltest Hs 0...

does estrogen methyltestos f.s tabs cause weight gain ## Hi nicki, Based on my research and from listening to other's personal experiences, I'm led to believe that any type of hormonal supplement can easily have a significant impact on your weight in general. With this particular medication, weight changes are a common side effect. Reason being is that your hormones are largely responsible for proper thyroid function; which in and of itself controls your metabolism and other like-factors that help your body to maintain and control it's weight. You can view a list of side effects here: medicinenet.com/methyltestosterone_with_estrogen-oral/page2.htm#SideEffects I hope this helps! ## I am thinking about not taking the Med just because of the side effects of gaining weight. Inte...

Is it true that Walmart can no longer fill prescriptions for est estrogenmtest hstb amn???? ## I'm not sure what they told you, but it actually isn't that these types of prescriptions can't be filled anymore, it's that there are stricter regulations on them. The Methyltestosterone in them falls under the anabolic steroids act and the laws pertaining to them weren't being enforced for many years in regards to HRT medications, the FDA and DEA have started cracking down and making pharmacies follow the law to the letter. That means that there are strict limits on the number of refills you can have on the prescription, so you will have to see your doctor every few months and get a new prescription in order to continue getting it filled. Learn more HRT details here. Were ...

How safe is it? What are the potential side effects? Regarding Glenmark Est., is this a safe and good choice or should I use another manufacture? I use DS 1.25 / 2.5 mg tabs. ## Are one of the side effects for taking Estrogen-Methyltestos, little small sores on my scalp and hairline? ## Can u get boils with this medication (estrogen-methyltestos f.s. tab)? ## I do not know if this is a side effect but I can say that I also take this med and I also get those same sores. Little boils/pimples mostly on my neck and hairline. I was recently in Florida and got the worst sunburn I have ever gotten in my life in one day and with wearing my usual 60 spf lotion. I was curious if sun sensitivity was a side - effect? ## I'm 62 and decided to stop this medication. I have started the hot flashes ...

I am told that tb is for tablet, fs is for full strength hs is for half strength, is this true? ## Hello, Jane! How are you? It depends on where and how it's included on the prescription, but generally yes that is correct. From what you've listed, the tb would stand for tablet, in this case. The FDA classifies this as a hormonal supplement and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am a 55 year old woman on hormone replacement .I have to get my prescription through mail order, and they wrote and said " medications that contain methyltestosterone have now been classified as a controlled substance". I take a estrog/methyl 1.25/2.5 every day . They also say that due to a new law through DEA I will now have to get my prescription as a 6 month supply or 5 refills max. Can you tell me if this is true or are they just jerking people around? ## Actually, it's been classified that way since 1990, under the Anabolic Steroids Act, it just hasn't been enforced previously. Learn more Methyltestosterone details here. There have been a lot of crackdowns happening recently to force pharmacies to start complying with laws that they were previously ignoring. So ye...

I'm taking Methyltestosterone and I have a drug test will it show up as methamphetamine and fail my test? ## I am looking for an answer to this very question someone please respond ## I need the answer to this as well ## The only person(s) that can really answer this question is an MRO. A Medical Review Officer is a doctor trained to answer such questions. With that said I am not a medical professional but have worked in the drug testing biz for about 15 years. My opinion is that the Methyltestosterone should/would not show up as methamphetamine. They are two completely different substances. Drug test confirmation testing is done with a process called GC/MS which would eliminate the possibilities of false positives. When/if you have a urine drug testing coming up you should request ...

I have been taking this medicine for 8 years....it works for me....now they tell me that i have to take this Covaryx......it is very expensive since i dont have any insurance...why??? did the manufacturer stop making estrogenmtest....it was so much cheaper....and it worked... ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I am really not sure. Originally, it was stated that it was due to the Methyltestosterone in it, but that doesn't seem to make sense, because there are others available, such as the Covaryx, that still contain it as an ingredient. Does anyone know more about this?
