Re: Androgel/Testim question

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am currently on Testim 10g daily and I can tell you it's

definitely going to get gooey if you sweat a lot or get in the water

even several hours after application. Androgel is the same way. After

waiting that long though it should not matter in terms of absorption.

What you are seeing are really by-products of the med itself. It's

even worse with Testim since Testim also has an emollient in the mix

whereas Androgel does not. I believe this to be completely normal but

I'd like some others to weigh in as well.

Thanks, that was what I was hoping to hear, rather than it wasn't

absorbing well and I was washing all the T off. If that was the case,

I'd have to switch to shots. It is funny, though, that if I wait a

whole day and shower 1st thing next morning, there is no residue. I

don't know if that means clothing has rubbed it off or it has absorbed

anything else into the body ????

I've actually thought about that as well and I think as we sleep as

well as wearing clothes all day, anything left of the med is rubbed

off or other products in the med are just absorbed. I believe the

actual dose of T entered our systems long before any of this takes place.

It mostly rubs off on clothings etc by the time you shower. It is

normal per se but annoying. For me it didn't go away entirely by the

next morning and I would have to wash the area twice to get it clean

enough. If you use the higher concentration there is less of it but it

is still there.
