Yessir, and it works well that way. I think that volumes up to 10mL absorb through the oral mucosa and esophagus so quickly that it never reaches the stomach.
The reasons I chose to ingest rather than apply topically are the convenience and safety factors. By swallowing it, I don't have to wait for it to disappear or worry about touching/contaminating something that my kids may touch later.
My family has used it for years topically to give medications to horses. After reading all the info I could find about oral ingestion, I got the nerve to try. I figured if it didn't kill all the 75 year old arthritis patients who take a tbsp a day; I should survive one 1/8 to 1/4cc dose.
If you ever do try it, that first dose will be a memorable experience. Not at all painful or unpleasant (other than the taste)......it's just a super weird feeling that lasts 3 seconds or less.
I really like the precision of solutions over suspension in my practice and for my personal use. Medications like letrozole are well worth the time to get accurate.
However, properly compounded suspensions are a very close 2nd; but getting extemporaneously compounded suspensions correct takes some time, effort, and expense. The pharm grade oral suspension vehicles are good; but you can't just measure a volume and mix in powder. Medication has to be made into a paste in the mortar, then add more vehicle,mix, repeat up to 10 times, etc. in order to get as close as possible to accurate concentration. After all that, there is still the possibility of settling even with the best vehicle.
So, for me, it will be solution with every (illegal) drug if I can find a non-toxic solvent.
A friend of mine bought some tadalafil from one of the peptide places. he showed it to me and it just pissed me off that they sold him and thousands of other people this medication that is just powder sitting in the bottom of some liquid.
It does say "shake well" on the bottle; but that isn't an accurate way of dispersal for uniform dosage. If it were something dangerous like T3, a person could easily overdose unintentionally and die.
FYI, there is no solvent available for tadalafil or sildenafil for oral solution;so it must be in suspension.
Of course capsules are an option, But pharmaceutical companies spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to match filler particle size/weight to the active ingredient. Then proper mixing takes time and accuracy before capping. I had given some thought to using anavar later on and attempting capping it after I find an appropriate filler. I was thinking of using a colored tracer powder in small amounts to visually inspect for homogeneity of the mixture. But all that is months and many dollars away.
There is a paid service called "Compounding Today" that I recently joined. It is an online resource for compounding pharmacists with literally thousands of medication compounding recipes. My pharmacist friend turned me on to it; and I got my job to pay for the subscription ($495/year). It seems like these internet drug dealers could afford to either employ a pharmacist or subscribe to a database like that to help prevent harm. Maybe I'm just oversensitive to it because of my career; but after starting this journey I have found that the quick dollar is far more important than safety of the community to most of the "labs".
