Introduction
Bayer Healthcare’s Androtardyl is a well-known injectable anabolic steroid marketed as containing 250 mg/ml of testosterone enanthate, presented in 1-milliliter ampules. To validate its labeling accuracy and ensure quality and sterility, AnabolicLab procured samples of Androtardyl from a European brick-and-mortar pharmacy and submitted them for independent laboratory testing.
The analysis, conducted by ChemTox using GC-MS/MS, revealed that Androtardyl contained 236 mg/ml of testosterone enanthate—94.4% of the declared dosage. These results indicate a slight underperformance compared to the label claim. The analysis and sample submission were funded by AnabolicLab to promote transparency and harm reduction for consumers in the anabolic steroid market.
