Hi all
I have not been on here for a while but need some advice, finally been given Testosterone after about a year trying, had it in about 2016 but was refused to put it on repeat, on the box it has the instruction from chemist on how to use but all it say is use as directed but can't remember what the GP as it has been over week since I was prescribed it , can anyone help me please on the dose before I have to ring GP. :) :)

If it is a male licensed product which it probably is if you got it on the NHS, the usual advice is for women to use one tenth of the male dose.
Is there anything on the box or patient information leaflet inside regarding instructions for male use?
If you post the brand name of the product you have, someone who uses that will probably respond.
Unfortunately your GP might not know - that is sometimes the case when they select "as directed" for the dose.
Do make sure you aren't using the amount intended for a man.

Which one do you have?
