[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 239690, member: 15832"] I would be annoyed also and while having patience is one thing, working with an inept doctor is quite another. If you check your testosterone a few weeks after starting topicals and levels aren’t elevated, it’s likely they never will become elevated. The half-life of topicals is 4 hours and if your doctor went to medical school, he/she should have learned about pharmacokinetics, multiple 5 times the half-life and now you know how long it takes to reach steady states, which ends up being less than one week on topicals. The issue with topicals is men typically fail to absorb enough test, so you may have already reached treatment failure at this point, in fact it’s highly likely and now you’re just spinning your wheels. Ask your doctor about Jatenzo, which is an oral T capsule taken twice daily. Recommended starting dosages is 237 mg twice daily. It can be expensive though, so unless you have top rate insurance, it may be a no go. You need to put your foot down, be firm and tell him you’re done with this topical route, either move you to different therapy or you’re done with him. [/QUOTE]
