Short answer: The testosterone enanthate label has no missed-dose instructions. It gives 50 to 400 mg every 2 to 4 weeks for male hypogonadism and notes that injections more often than every two weeks are rarely needed because of the long action. Ask your prescriber whether to inject now or wait for your next scheduled day.

No. We checked the generic testosterone enanthate injection label (Hikma) on DailyMed. It has no missed-dose section.
What it does say: for replacement in male hypogonadism, the suggested dose is 50 to 400 mg every 2 to 4 weeks. It adds that total doses above 400 mg a month are generally not needed because of the long action of the preparation, and that injections more often than every two weeks are rarely indicated.
The label describes the preparation as long-acting, which is why it can be dosed weeks apart. A few days late means levels drift lower than usual for those days rather than falling off suddenly. How much that matters depends on your schedule and dose.
The label does not describe catch-up doses and sets a ceiling on monthly total dose. Doubling up raises the peak. Ask your prescriber before changing the amount or spacing.
Yes, it can. Testosterone levels depend on how many days have passed since the last injection, so record the real date of a late shot and tell whoever orders your labs.
