Re: Andromen cream - good or bad??

One drawback would the applying it to the scrotum. XXYs have very small

scrotums and Andromen is manufactured to be applied to a normal sized scrotum.

That is why the scrotal applications of testosterone supplements of the past did

not work for XXYs.

I've heard a few people of late claim Andromen cream is far superior

compared to other transdermal gels/creams for following reasons:

1. less needs to be applied (few grams compared to 7.5-10g with

Androgel for example)

2. much more cost effective because applied to scrotum (60-70%

absorption rate compared to about 10% with gels/creams applied to

shoulders/back/ upper arms

3. quick drying compared to other transdermals and quicker to apply

people using it are also reporting good erections/potency - this is

not always the case for those on TRT even although TT levels well

within range and estradiol kept within 15-30 pg/dl range

what I want to know is if the product is this good why does it lag

behind androgel and testim in the market? and even injectables if its

far superior to other gels and creams for absorption and application?

I realise its manufactured by Austraian co and might not be marketed

in Europe or US but it can be bought direct from hormone solutions

without prescription so that gets round that one.

Are there people out there having tried this product with bad

experiences? like high DHT (hair falling out etc), rash on scrotum,

gyno or other nasty side effect

or is it all good like its being made out to be?

I am guessing you don't use it because of this then? - if you do use

it would you recommend it as TRT treatment and where are you based?

since I know this is only prescribed by doctors in Australia at the

moment although could be bought personally I guess in UK or US

I live in the USA. I have been on the injections, and Testim and AndroDerm skin

patches and now I'm on AndroGel. The injections caused hypertension and a

significant increase in red blood cells. The Testim skin patches worked the

best with minimal skin reactions but they were taken off the market, the

AndroDerm cause allergic contact dermatitis. Testosterone blood levels were

very good, I couldn't take the skin rash. The AndroGel is a topical clear gel.

It has worked the best for me, however I have read that the scrotal application

was or is to be an alternative to the skin rashes of the topical gels since they

have a high alcohol content. Apparently the scrotal cream or gel does not.

Testosterone is a control drug in the USA. Purchasing this hormone in a
