Nebido contains Testosterone Undecanoate, a fatty acid ester of the natural male androgen testosterone. Unlike standard short-acting injections that require weekly administration, Nebido is designed for "depot" release. Once injected deep into the gluteal muscle, the ester is gradually cleaved by enzymes in the body, releasing pure testosterone into the bloodstream over several weeks. This provides a highly stable hormonal profile, eliminating the "rollercoaster" peaks and troughs (mood swings and energy crashes) often associated with shorter-acting testosterone treatments.
In Nigeria, Nebido (1000mg/4ml) is a gold-standard clinical choice for managing male hormonal deficiencies. It is available through registered specialist pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability oily solutions manufactured under strict international standards (Bayer/Grunenthal) and stored in temperature-controlled environments to maintain the hormonal integrity of the 1000mg dose.
Important: This is a specialized, prescription-only hormonal medication. The "Slow Injection" Rule: To avoid a rare but serious "oil embolism" in the lungs (POTE), the 4ml volume must be injected very slowly (over 2 minutes) deep into the muscle. Monitoring: Regular blood tests for Testosterone, Hematocrit (red blood cell count), and Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) are mandatory. Do not use if you have or are suspected of having prostate or breast cancer.
Nebido 1000mg/4ml Injections are primarily used to:
Treat Male Hypogonadism (low testosterone) caused by primary or secondary testicular failure
Restore natural energy levels, libido (sex drive), and erectile function
Improve muscle mass, bone mineral density, and metabolic health in men with deficiency
Elevate mood and cognitive focus by stabilizing systemic hormone levels
Provide a highly convenient dosing schedule (usually only 4 injections per year)
Maintain "steady-state" testosterone levels for long-term physiological health
This product is suitable for:
Adult men with clinically confirmed low testosterone (via blood tests) and symptoms of deficiency
Patients requiring long-term maintenance therapy who prefer infrequent injections
Individuals seeking to avoid the skin irritation associated with testosterone gels or patches
Not recommended for: Children or adolescents (under 18 years). It is strictly contraindicated for women. Avoid use if you have high calcium levels in the blood, severe liver disease, or untreated sleep apnea. Consult our pharmacist if you have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure, as testosterone can cause fluid retention and increase red blood cell production.
Administered strictly by deep intramuscular (IM) injection into the gluteus (buttock) muscle by a healthcare professional
The Loading Phase: To reach stable levels quickly, a second "loading" dose is often given 6 weeks after the first injection
Maintenance Dose: After the loading phase, injections are typically spaced 10 to 14 weeks apart (approximately 3 months)
The 4ml oily solution must be injected extremely slowly (taking at least 60 to 120 seconds) to prevent coughing or dizziness
Do not inject into a blood vessel; the clinician must aspirate the syringe before injecting to ensure safety
Consistency is vital—keep track of your injection dates to ensure your levels do not drop too low before the next dose
Nebido is effective, but some individuals may experience:
Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site (very common)
Acne or oily skin
Increased red blood cell count (polycythemia)
Weight gain or increased appetite
Changes in libido or increased frequency of erections
Rare but serious: Pulmonary Oil Microembolism (POME) characterized by sudden coughing or shortness of breath during or immediately after injection
Rare: Sleep apnea or swelling of the ankles/feet (edema)
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, sudden difficulty breathing, a severe cough during the injection, or yellowing of the skin/eyes.

Why do I only need an injection every 3 months?
Standard testosterone (like Enanthate) is a small molecule that leaves the body quickly. Nebido is a much larger "Undecanoate" molecule dissolved in a special oil that creates a reservoir in your muscle. This reservoir releases the hormone very slowly, lasting up to 14 weeks.
Will this affect my ability to have children?
Yes. Like all forms of testosterone therapy, Nebido can significantly reduce your sperm count while you are using it. If you are planning to have children in the near future, discuss fertility preservation options with your doctor before starting treatment.
Is it okay if I feel a little "coughy" right after the shot?
Some men experience a "tickle" in the throat or a brief cough if a tiny amount of the oil enters the bloodstream. This is why the injection must be done very slowly. If the cough is severe or you feel dizzy, stay in the clinic for 30 minutes for observation.
Where can I purchase Nebido 1000mg/4ml in Nigeria?
