Post by: LSmarty on February 10, 2023, 08:28:37 AM

Hi everyone

Is anyone using Tostran (testosterone gel)
I've just been prescribed this and wondering how people get on with it??
Pros?
Cons?
Thanks

Hi I have been on it about 8 months now. It’s really helped me. I found an improvement in libido really quickly and definitely helped my focus which although had improved with hrt this helped more. The only thing that didn’t improve as much as I hoped was my tiredness but that might be just other health issues rather than menopause.
The only negative which is minor that I have only noticed very recently is the area I apply the gel, inner thighs, has got darker, courser hair growth now, but not bad at all.
I have no plans to stop taking it, it has made a huge difference to me.

Hi Tracy

Doing OK,  but more energy and brain fog seems better too

Hi LSmarty,
I have been using Tostran since last September along with gel/Utrogestan. It had made a huge difference to my libido and response which was zilch, but not noticed any difference in tiredness and body aches and pains. I noticed some fine hair growth on my inner thigh but not a lot.

I'm only using 2 pumps a week, how much are you all using? Thanks xx

I use two pumps a week. The doctor told me to apply on the calf.
