My 93 Year Old Father & TRT

My dad has been doing monthly injections at the Doctor's office for $55 a pop. His insurance pays for it, He has been trying to talk them into weekly injections but all they will consider now is twice a month. They told him that you have to "build up to it" and there is a cardio risk...blah, blah, blah. Good night, he survived Navy combat in the Pacific and 93 years of life!

I'm looking for up-to-date protocol materials that I can send to him so he can show it to his doctors and maybe help them get up-to-speed so he can get proper treatment. I searched this site before posting but couldn't find anything. I may have overlooked it. If I did, my apologies.

I use Defy and he lives in FL. I've recommended Defy, but I think his concern about Defy is the cost sans insurance.

Thank You
 
My best advice is to print out the study CoastWatcher provided and show it to your doctor, no garrenties she will understand any of it but it's worth a shot. 50mg twice weekly will get most guys to midrange or high normal but within the ranges.

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.
