TB 500 Sub Q or IM?

[Mason Kray]

Hey Bros!

My rats have been on TB500 for a couple of months now at a maintenance dosage of 5mg every month. I started them on it because of shoulder issues, and it appears to have worked pretty well. All injections have been Sub Q into the area around the belly button.

I've read differences of opinion as to where is best to inject when issues exist. Some people say Sub Q in the area with the problem. Some say IM into the muscle near the problem area. I have also read that maintenance injections every two weeks is optimal over injections every four.

I love to hear opinions from you guys as to what you have found works best for your rats with existing problems.

Many thanks and god less you all!

I'm doing sub-q in the belly. Seems to work fine, but I've never tried IM to compare.

I do sub q on sundays then IM into the problem area on wednesdays. Still in loading phase, it seems to work well. total is 6mg a week

I only give mine maintenance injections as needed, they've been on for 3-4 months. It can be from 3-5 wks btwn shots, depending on exercises I put them thru.

Thats a pretty interesting idea.

sub q bro... i found that maintenance worked much better twice a month as opposed to once a month...

I've been running TB 500 sub q @ 5 mg a month. Last few months I've done 5mg bi weekly and it seems to be more steady or me.

If I continue on bi weekly and drop to 2.5mg per injection, will the other half keep for 2 weeks in fridge?

All I have are 5mg vials.
