Title: Testosterone dosage
Post by: Samsz on October 27, 2022, 03:32:17 PM
Hi
I have been on testim gel 50 mg and taking the tube over 7 days.
Apparently they can't get it anymore and so I now have testogel 40.5mg - the chemist says it is the same which I don't understand?
He also says the size of the tubes are the same, but testim were 5g and testogel are 2.5?
Any advice will be appreciated thank you, Samantha

The new Testogel sachets should be used over 8 days do you get 5mg a day.

I think you will have been taking about 7 g a day with the testim (50รท7~7)so you need to try and get the same amount via the Testogel. If it's 40g then you will need to make it last whatever 40 divided by 7 is. So between 5 and 6 days. Not terribly easy to do!
