Title: Testosterone advice
Post by: jojo999 on August 03, 2018, 06:33:29 AM

My Consultant has recommended I use it, but will be a private prescription and not cheap.
I am more than prepared to commit and pay for it, but wondered why this brand over the Testim / Testogel NHS options??
Thanks

Which brand have you been prescribed?

If you have been prescribed Androfemme, then this is the only testosterone replacement that has been formulated for women. It takes the guesswork out of dosage, as Testim and Testogel are designed for men.

A lot of ladies use Tostran or Testogel quite happily and they are much cheaper.

Have to agree with Dotty there, I use a pea-sized blob of Testogel daily and it is enough for me. I am supposed to make a sachet last 14 days but it lasts a bit longer than that. I guess it depends how much you need but at this level it has increased my free T levels sufficiently. Horses for courses I suppose. Perhaps someone who uses Androfemme will be along to advise.
