Title: Testogel pump
Post by: soph35 on September 11, 2022, 03:45:20 PM

Hi everyone,

I was prescribed testosterone for libido and energy by a menopause specialist at the hospital, which I was told would come in sachets. However, the GP/pharmacist have given me a pump pack of testogel with instructions to layer over right upper arms daily! Surely this isn't right?! Does anyone else here use a pump pack of testogel, and if so, how much do you use?

Thanks!

I've just been prescribed the testogel pump today. The instructions are all aimed at men and tell you to rub it on the shoulders.  Did you find out anything? How are you getting on? I'm scared to try it without some advice

The Testogel in the pump pack is not recommended for women as it is too concentrated.

Testogel in sachets is advised or Tostran pump pack.
