Title: Testogel
Post by: Tinacros on July 28, 2020, 11:00:12 AM

I have finally been prescribed testogel.  My GP said 0.5ml every other day.  The chemist has put 0.5ml every day.  I asked for a couple of syringes to to help dosage.  I’m just reading through the leaflet and it’s obviously based on men.. so my question is 1) where do I apply it?
2) does 0.5ml every other day sound about right, as my GP admitted she wasn’t very clued up on it x

Hi have you got Testogel in a sachet or in a pump pack?

The usual dose is a pea sized dose of gel every day. X

I have the sachets as well, but just use a pea-sized blob. My dosage is one sachet to last 10-14 days.

Yes, a pea-sized blob daily. One sachet usually lasts me 13 or 14 days.
