In time using gels for some men the skin stops letting the Testosterone through

the skin. Why don't know but a lot of men here are on shots now because of this

problem.

I've contacted the pharmacy for a 10ml vial of Tcyp. It's around $108 without

insurance coverage. This is about 20 weeks supply. That's a good call Phil.

I got my first T cyp 2 weeks ago. They gave me (2) 1ml vials and charged me $32.

I got hosed on that. Rookie mistake.

Today with the Drug plains one needs to check the price of drugs before ordering

them from Medco or Caremark with my plain I pay $20 for a generic for a brand

name my cost is $50 for a 90 day supply. I can get some of my meds a Walmart

for $10 for 90 days if it's a generic and find my some of my other meds for 90 I

can get for less then $50.
