Got the wrong Testosterone

Somebody screwed up and when i went to pickup my refill of Androgel 1.62% the pharmacy handed me a bottle of "Testosterone 30MG/ACT Solution".

Got the refill straightened out but now I have this bottle that the pharmacy won't take back (understandably so).

Is there any use for it?

thanks.

Most likely would be the Teva generic of Axiron as the original manufactured by Eli Lilly was discontinued in 2017!

If they made the mistake why would they not take it back?

I would not use it in place of your Androgel as Axiron is only meant to be applied to the armpits and even if you matched up the dose of T compared to what you are using for the Androgel you have no idea if the absorption will be as effective for you compared to the Androgel which you have always been using.

Of course men have had success with its use as it was on the market for awhile just not a popular choice/method of application (armpits).

I had a co-worker that was on T-enanthate injections for a few years and wanted to get off injections.....his doctor recommended it (just came on the market in Canada at the time) so he gave it a go.....lets just say it was short lived and he went back on injections.

Doctor's office wrote the wrong script, I didn't immediately discover the error (shame on me for not checking before paying) and the pharmacy declined the return.
 
Ya they don't take drugs back.

What I would do if you have some (low) DHT tests in the past to support it, try a little addition of that gel in small amounts to the scrotum and evaluate.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
