Re: Re: Androgel Users Please Help

[Guest guest]

That's about what I'm paying my compounder for the 7.5%T in cream. It didn't

get cheaper with a 90 day supply. I wonder if T pills crushed and blended with

water soluable cream would work?

I'm still searching for somewhere on line that I can get mine. I'm using more

than the prescription says for satisfactory results so I want to get some

stronger stuff. If I find a place I'll post it.

The reason for this could be that Testim drove up your E2 higher Testim gets

into the skin faster the androgel.

Did he have any good/bad experiences with Androgel or Testim? And they

compare pretty equally? On Testim, not only did I crash badly, but my

taste buds were out of whack too....food hardly had any taste at all.

God Bless,

Chris

Uh-- I guess this is for me, What is a script or is that an inside joke to

another ?

What is the percentage of T in this gel? The price sounds right. I'm supposed

to rub on 1cc of my 7.5% stuff per day, how much gel do you use?

OH--you mean perscription, Where are these called scripts?

In any case, does this place require scripts/perscriptions?

The internet isn't working for me tonight so I'll have to go there tomorrow.

Thanks

Hi Vickie;

Sounds like that's what I want. I'm using a CC of .75%-75mg daily but want to

get a stronger prescription. It costs me about $1.25/day

cheers

<< Hubby's gel is 10mg/1gm. Compounds are made to order. The gel looks

kind of a milky white. At first I thought the druggist made a

mistake because it looked like my estrogen/progestrone. I compared

them and realized the difference. Gels also have that unmistakable

etoh smell. It applies to an area the size of a cookie and dries in

seconds. By volume applies .75 cc twice a day. He does better

splitting his dose. >>
