Title: Testogel overdose!
Post by: Smurph on November 16, 2022, 08:01:30 PM

Help ladies! My doctor has prescribed Testogel 50mg 5gm sachets which I just picked up tonight. She told me to use a whole sachet on my inner arm and that it will be a bit like a patch and give me a consistent dose over the 10 days.

So I’ve covered my arm in a whole sachet then thought I’d have a look on here to see how others have got on with it. To my shock and horror I realised I’m only meant to have a blob each day over 10 days, not the whole sachet at once! What shall I do? I washed my arm when I realised about an hour after I applied it. I’m panicking a bit now worrying what it’s going to do to me. Please any advice would be so appreciated! xx

Hi

If you’ve only done it once I very much doubt anything will happen especially if you washed it off.

Don’t worry.

Probably not a lot!  GPs really need to learn how to explain thoroughly to patients how to use various treatments  :bang:

Try not to stay awake waiting for side effects  ;) and let us know how you feel in the morning.

Ha! Love that.

I feel much calmer now thanks. Mind started working overtime earlier thinking I’d become a man overnight or something. I’ll let you know if I wake up with a beard in the morning  ;D
