[QUOTE="FOX1, post: 109778, member: 15594"] Many people have different views on when blood should be taken whilst on Testogel TRT . Due to this I wrote direct to the manufacturer of Besins Testogel and asked their desired procedures for testing bloods whilst on Testogel. They prefer a trough test . Here is their reply; [SIZE=3]I am writing in response to your recent request for information on our product Testogel. You asked what time of day should testosterone levels be tested. You also asked for information regarding application of Testogel to the chest. I hope you find the following information useful. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) is a more detailed document than the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL), and is primarily written for healthcare professionals. The SPC for Testogel [/SIZE][SIZE=1]1 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]states in section 4.2 ‘Posology and method of administration’: [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"Steady state plasma testosterone concentrations are reached approximately on the 2nd day of treatment by Testogel. In order to adjust the testosterone dose, serum testosterone concentrations must be measured in the morning before application from the 3rd day on after starting treatment (one week seems reasonable)" [SIZE=2]I followed their procedure and my results were 18nmol/L (518ng/dl) trough, prior to application. I also had a peak test 4 hours after application and this was what I considered high at 50.2nmol/L (1440ng/dl). This falls to a trough of 18nmol/L (518ng/dl) 24 hours after application and prior to re-applying. Do you consider these readings to high?[/SIZE] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
