Title: How to measure Testogel amount
Post by: Ljp on September 23, 2023, 04:18:34 PM

Hi ladies,

I’ve been using Tostran gel for 4 years, but it’s been discontinued.
My GP has prescribed Testogel sachets as an alternative.
A couple if questions for those of you that use it please

1, how do you measure your daily amount? ….I put my first sachet into a small pot, but today being day 8 there seemed to be quite a lot left, I just applied what was left, but would prefer to get a more accurate dose daily, I tried using a syringe but that didn’t work

2, do you keep it in the fridge? My GP said I should, but no mention in the leaflet, plus I need to figure how to keep it when I go away and no fridge in room 🤔

Thank you in advance ❤️

Hi Ljp,

I just squeeze approx baked bean size blob from the sachet, I don't keep it in the fridge. I fold over the top and secure it with a paperclip.

I have the same problem. Tostran is so much easier. Isn't testogel the 'petit pois' dose that used to be discussed?
