Cost of compounded testosterone cream

[Kettlebells]

I have been thinking about switching to compounded testosterone cream. However, unlike injectable testosterone cypionate and topical/gels generic and brand name, compounded testosterone is probably not covered in my prescription coverage. Does have anyone have an approximate price for 30ml of 200mg/ml of testosterone cream? I know that EmpowerRx makes compounded cream. A respected compounding pharmacy near me probably makes it as well. They made the extra pellets that were not covered by my insurance company when I was on pellets, but I do not think that they are at the same level as EmpowerPharmacy.com

 

[Lookingforward]

$36 + $12 shipping.

Is that from EmpowerRx?

Better get Androgel - at least you will know what you are getting and its formula has been tested.

Everybody can make a "compounded testosterone" but they never actually test how well their formulation delivers it and it's not very well, judging by the enormous concentration of testosterone in compounded creams compared to Androgel.

What about all the practitioners that follow up with patients and documented effect via blood work?

"Documenting effect" cannot even begin go compare with the full pharmacokinetic studies of Androgel.

Most health insurance plans cover Androgel after prior authorization with documents from your doctor that you are hypogonadal. The copay for Androgel is comparable to the amount you pay for an untested compounded concoction but everybody has the right to break their head in the wall in the way the want.

Most people that claim transdermal testosterone "doesn't work" used some compounded nonsense, not Androgel.

Will you need a prescription to purchase Androgel?
I wanted to use it as a complement to TT, which is not so low, 637.

are you using Androgel?

 

[sammmy]

are you using Androgel?

I've used it in the past and it works very well.

I am currently not on TRT. In my case, boosting testosterone interacts unfavorably with the immune system so I am not doing it. I am in low-normal range of free T.

Androgel is by prescription only, after you prove to insurance you are hypogonadal.
With TT of 637, you are not hypogonadal, unless your SHBG is very high. Test your free testosterone with a reliable test.

Androgel will not complement or boost your Testosterone, it will shut your testosterone production down, and then replace it with the one in the gel. It will not add up on top of your testosterone - this occurs only during the 'honeymoon period' of the first 2-3 weeks until your body senses the external testosterone and starts shutting down your own.

Mesmo assim, não recomendável usar Androgel, ok?
