[QUOTE="madman, post: 108276, member: 13851"] Do not get to caught up on the doses used in that study. I had thought that the starting dose was 80 mg/day (40mg morning/40mg evening). It is actually 120-160mg (60-80mg morning/60-80 mg evening) for the first 2-3 weeks to get blood levels elevated and than a maintenance dose of 40-120mg/day split in 2 doses based on ones following testosterone levels and whether the patient is benefiting from therapy. So you should be using double the dose you are on.....hard to believe he is starting you on such a low dose as most doctors know of the poor absorption of Andriol hence why it is rarely prescribed for trt. You can give it a go but honestly transdermal or injections (most effective) would serve you much better! Here is the pdf for Andriol (manufactured by Merck) in Quebec. On page 11 of the pdf you will see Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment look over when you have time and explain this to your doctor.[URL]https://www.merck.ca/static/pdf/ANDRIOL-PM_E.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
