[QUOTE="madman, post: 108223, member: 13851"] Absorption is very poor and it needs to be taken with a meal containing some fat to allow for optimal absorption and your dose needs to be spread out and taken 2 times/day in the morning/evening and 80mg (40mg twice daily) is usually a common starting dose for men and some times increased to 160mg (80mg twice daily) depending on testosterone levels and effectiveness of the therapy. You would be far better off with injections (testosterone enanthate or testosterone cypionate) as there are no issues with absorption/effectiveness and one can easily attain mid-normal or high-normal physiological levels of testosterone as oppose to using oral capsules -Andriol (tesosterone decanoate) which if one does have effective absorption men are usually only able to attain mid-normal testosterone levels. Not saying achieving mid normal total t/free t levels is bad as many men do well in those ranges but there are others who need to have levels in the high-normal physiological range to experience relief/improvement of low t symptoms. If anything I am shocked that he would not put you on transdermal testosterone-Androgel or Testim as it is common for men to start trt using transdermal testosterone gels/creams if they are uncomfortable using injections. Transdermals can be effective and there are men who do very well on them and attain good testosterone levels and results but at the same time there are many who react poorly due to absorption issues and they end up switching to injections. If anything get off the oral and at least convince him you want to try transdermal or even injection. He should have given you the option of transdermal or injections instead of pushing the oral Andriol as not many doctors would prescribe it for trt simply knowing that absorption/effectiveness is poor! Even though women were used in this study it will give you some insight on the pharmacokinetics of Andriol and the and the effect of food composition on serum testosterone levels after administration.[URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1859980/"] [url]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1859980/[/url] [/URL] [/QUOTE]
