[QUOTE="madman, post: 210926, member: 13851"] When using big pharma AndroGel®/FORTESTA®/TESTIM®/VOGELXO® the strength is only 1-2% so a fair amount of gel needs to be applied. AndroGel® is available in 1.0% and 1.62% concentrations (packet/pump). A common starting dose for Androgel 1% was 50mg T/day (5 g of gel/1 packet) which would be roughly 5 mg T/day and in most cases, men would only hit a mid-normal T level at best. Most men would need the higher end dose of 100 mg T/day (10 g of gel) which would be roughly 10 mg T/day to achieve a high-end or in some cases very high T level. Some men are poor responders when using transdermal T as they have issues with absorption. In some cases switching over to a higher concentration compounded T cream is all that may be needed. Many end up using compounded transdermal T creams as the strength is much higher 5-20%. Much less needs to be applied let alone the overall cost of the medication is much cheaper. Most are using 20% strength (200mg/mL) and unfortunately many end up on that 200 mg T twice daily application protocol which would surely result in absurdly high TT/FT levels. Many can easily achieve healthy let alone very high T levels on much less especially when applied strictly scrotal. [/QUOTE]
