testosterone questions

Hi

I have a few questions about testosterone cream and doses. My doctors prescription was very vage. It says to use 0.1-0.4 mg daily applied to wrist. How do i know how much to use? Do i start out with the larger dose then go down to the smaller dose? I really don't know? Is that the best place to apply testosterone?

Hi Suzie

I'd be conservative and start low, or go as high as the 0.2. I use 0.2 ml once a day.

My compounding pharmacists recommend rotating the application site and give these areas for use: wrist, forearm, under bicep, upper shoulder, inner thigh, buttock, behind knee and the vulva/clitoral area. Check with your compounding pharmacist about the last site. You want to be sure the base is gentle enough to use there.

I hope the testosterone helps you!

My Instructions were vague like that and upon a closer look I read that it was 20mg/mL sooo a quarter of it would have been 5mg of the testo. Which was way to high for me. SO, do you know the compounded strenght. Some ladies have a 2percent cream. I would definately start low.
