androgel

I was wondering if I could get everyones opinion and ideas on this. Dr. Recommended Androgel to try for a few months and see if it helps with fatigue and brain fog. He said I could try it for a few months and if I see no improvement, I could stop and it shouldn’t cause any problems. I’m not...

Random question… would getting higher/optimal testosterone levels have an effect on blood glucose and/or insulin sensitivity? This maybe a total coincidence, but I stopped clomid and restarted androgel. About a week into it, I’ve been getting some hypoglycemic episodes (I wear a dexcom cgm and...

Would it be possible to use testosterone gel only occasionally, sometimes on weekends? i.e. to get more stamina for dancing. If, let´s say, taken saturday morning only, two times a month, would there be a suppression of the hormonal axis?

Nelson reviews dosing and other key information about each testosterone product approved by the FDA in the United States. There are numerous hypogonadism (low testosterone) treatment options, each with its own mode of administration, pharmacokinetic profile, dose sequence, and adverse effect...

Hi @all, since there are so many different opinions and threads regarding this issue, I´d like to have your opinions, pls only based either on real experience by yourself or real values by a lab /doctor. I am 63, on TRT about 5 yrs now, having switched locations on my body (no scrotal yet) but...

I’m 47 and low T, low energy and no gym gains. I’ve had issue with ED and my libido at the moment is nonexistent right now. 2 months ago my TEST was 160 and my free T was 11 pg/ml! My PA started me on 1 pump per day alternating shoulders and then bumped me to 2 pumps per day (one pump each...

My new physician has taken me off Androgel 1:62% gel that I have applied 2 pumps for the past 6+ years due to the bloodwork results attached. She asked me to discontinue it's use 100% for at least 2 weeks so we can redo the labs at that time. I'm on day 4 of no Androgel and am concerned the...

Greetings Gents: Anyone here who moved away from Testopel to Androgel? Or if you are taking Androgel, what is your general impression? I used androgel before and found that I never got my levels to go up sufficiently high enough but I didn't try other strengths. Please share your thoughts...

Hi there, I am on Androgel now for nearly 6 months. It had upped my T levels, so far so good. But my E is extremely low. Prior TRT my E was also low and now still is. Even when i was above the range with T, my E was below the range. My SHBG is low normal. I have low E issues like low Libido...

For reasons described here, I would like to gather information on who is using one of the commercial transdermal products. Please post feedback on your experience (successes or failures).

A TRT Community Member’s Typical, but Difficult Journey

I was wondering if androgel sustains levels of t longer than compounded creams. Why Do androgel and generics use gels instead of a cream base? Is there some scientific Evidence out there that say gels are slower release and more effective than creams? I’m not talking about scrotal application...

Anyone use Androgel anymore?

After taking it for less than 2 weeks, I've given up TRT androgel testosterone therapy since hair loss is a symptom I cannot risk possessing. Recently I read an article about a med that docs prescribe to boost dopamine levels in the brain that in turn boosts libido. Sadly I can't find this...

I was prescribed testosterone cream for low testosterone. My t level is at 280. The cream is androgel. Got 2 questions: 1) I've been on it for 2 weeks now. Does it cause hairloss? If so I''ll discontinue using it. 2) Although I've been on it for 2 weeks, for the first 3 - 4 days I noticed my...

Hi, I’m looking for advice on how to dose my test gel while using DMSO topically to increase absorption. I’m on a 1.62% gel that amounts to 16.1 mg a day or 113 mg of test a week. In theory if I use DMSO to help absorption I can cut down my daily dose of gel as I understand, as you apparently...

I was wondering - Gels etc. have very short half-lives, usually a few hours from what I've read in studies like this one. Would that mean - if I go on a business trip abroad for a few days and happen to forget my gel, I'm in for a miserable experience because after 24-48 hours, stuff has...

Had to get back on the TRT train because I felt like I was dying. It's been like pulling teeth to find a doctor who cared enough to help. I finally found one, who put me on Androgel, 1 pump to each shoulder. We just check bloodwork after 6 weeks, so he could check my levels. I was...

Hi guys without wanting to get into the gels vs. injectables discussion - plenty of threads on that here - there's one thing I don't understand. A typical injection protocol seems to be around 100mg / week. (I assume people mean "effective dose" when they talk about it?) For gels, it seems...

AbbieVie has been ordered by a federal judge to pay $448 million dollars for filing phony lawsuits to delay the introduction of generic equivalents of AndroGel to the market, thus illegally maintaining its monopoly. The FTC press release says:

for androgel after it dries does anyone know if it would make a difference to spray the area with alcohol and get all the dried glaze wet again ? it crossed my mind, has n e one done this b4? if so let me know your thoughts thanks :cool: Scruffy

I hope you enjoy this part 1. Yes, it is almost 2 hours long but I concentrated everything I know so that you do not have to read for hours.

Hello - I am a 59 year old male and have applied 2 pumps of Androgel every morning for the last 3+ years. For the most part I've had good energy, strength, endurance & libido. I hit the gym 5 or 6 days per week for 1 - 1 1/2 hours and lift heavy (enjoying every minute). And then came last week...

So I asked for blood tests after being on a bodybuilding forum and reading lots about lack of energy in relation to low testosterone. I had low libido. very poor energy to the point of being fatigued ! lack of motivation. hard to get and maintain erections. feeling low and social anxiety ! here...
