Contraindications: Testosterone Enanthate is contraindicated in individuals with confirmed androgen-sensitive prostate or breast carcinoma, polycythaemia, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnoea, or known hypersensitivity to sesame oil or any excipient in the formulation. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not use this product.
Side Effects: Androgenic effects include accelerated scalp hair recession in genetically predisposed individuals, acne, and increased sebum production. Aromatisation of testosterone to oestradiol may produce gynaecomastia, water retention, or elevated blood pressure; an aromatase inhibitor (e.g. anastrozole or exemestane) is commonly co-administered at performance doses. Erythrocytosis (elevated haematocrit) is dose-dependent and should be monitored via regular full blood count.
Monitoring: Baseline bloodwork before cycle start should include serum testosterone (total and free), LH, FSH, SHBG, haematocrit, haemoglobin, PSA (in men over 40), and lipid panel. Repeat full blood count at weeks 4 and 8; a haematocrit rise above 52% warrants dose review. Liver enzymes are typically unaffected by injectable testosterone but should be checked in polypharmacy protocols.
PCT: Following the final Enantat 250 injection, allow approximately 14 days for enanthate ester clearance before commencing SERM-based post-cycle therapy (e.g. tamoxifen 20 mg/day for 4–6 weeks, or clomiphene per individualised protocol). HPTA recovery timelines extend with cycle duration and cumulative dose — longer runs require proportionally longer PCT monitoring periods.
