Testosterone Vials

Pharma

I have some thirty some odd vials with minimal amounts of prescription testosterone remaining in them and wondered if it could be rescued? Range in date from last week to last year and a half.

Could the various small amounts be poured into one vial and baked or have bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% /9 mg/mL of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative?

Anyone read about bacteria filling these? Septic shock is not a goal.

I would think if you just transfer it into a sterile vial and bake it you’d be sound. Can’t think how any badness would survive that.

You could even run it through a whatman filter if you were really worried.

But if they’re in sterile vials, and you’re transferring them into another sterile vial with a sterile syringe, I don’t see what could go wrong.
