Is it ethical to donate blood while on steroids?

I think it’s something to do with the high hematocrit or hemoglobin one a those things
I’m not donating while on tane
You mean propecia(fina)
Actually Accutane is the drug that causes anxiety/depression . I think that was its negative side-effect from part of the population.

Accutane is an extremely powerful drug, I consider it in the same "caution class" as DNP. It has saved a lot of teenage faces from getting pimples permanently by shrinking the sebaceous glands, however it can have permanent effects on other glands as well. I used it for a short period of two weeks at a minimal dose. Haven't needed it since than.
When I donate I always wonder if some old lady in her 80"s is gonna get my 2500ng+ testosterone blood ?
Anyone notice Granny"s got more kick lately ? And she just beat me in arm wrestling....
That is literally the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
I am fucking dying over here imagining a granny hitting PRs on her deadlift
Im type O and once Red Cross knows they will never leave you alone . They hound me day & night to donate....
I’m O+ and I don’t have to keep track of when I can donate again. I get emails out of the wazoo once it’s been long enough between donations.

If your recipient is a woman:
- and you are natural at let’s say 600TT, you’re still way above her natural TT range, and they still give her the blood
- the fact that you are at 3000TT and way way over her natural range doesn’t make a difference past that point.
If your recipient is a guy:
He just earned a free short boost, nothing dramatic.
I’d rather my donor pin test than pop xanax and other SSRI

Put it this way, if there is ever a steroid column on jeopardy I'd clean up.

The testosterone a recipient would get would only be active for a couple hours if that even. Testosterone has a 2-4h HL, they wouldn't be getting the Depot of oil that you inject(test+ester.)
I just donated a few days ago. I’m on doc prescribed trt so I just answered truthfully that I take testosterone injection. Also, they will only let you donate around every 60 days but my trt doc is filling out a form where I could go as frequent as every month. There is absolutely nothing wrong with donating while on aas. You’re saving a life and it’s beneficial to your own health and could save your own life by doing so.

I had a discussion with a blood bank a while back about this. I asked flat out if I could donate on trt. They said it was fine and they just need to know if you’re taking testosterone because there’s some people who couldn’t get your blood. It was a long time ago, so I forgot who she said. Maybe pregnant women? But the bottom line is, you can. They don’t want blood from someone pinning a drug that was acquired illegally. But prescription testosterone is OK

So what difference is it to them if your TRT is prescribed or if you self medicate? Besides your test being contaminated or something
I have never once been directly asked if I take testosterone. I have donated a shit ton of blood. This is the question you must answer “no”.

Well then let's hope any pregnant ladies won't be needing my blood then
Lots of women take exogenous testosterone as part of their HRT plan.
