The problem with both Tostran is that it is twice the concentration (2 % T) of both the old testogel sachets (1% T) and the Testim tubes (1% T), and the new Testogel sachets (1.6 % T) are also higher dose than the previous testogel sachets. The standard prescription also seems quite high ie make a sachet last 8 days.
For years I used the 1 % testogel sachets and always used a pea sized blob and the sachets lasted way longer than suggested (supposed to be 10 days). I now have Testim and still use a pea-sized blob and the tube lasts me ages - yet it has the desired effect. OK we are all different but I wouldn't want to use a whole pump of Tostran ie 10 mg testosterone at once - because of potential side effects from a big hit of T. As far as I know these products have not been properly tested on women in trials for side effects and indeed long term effects so I understand the need for caution.
If anyone has a choice then I would go for Testim because they come as little tubes with a screw cap, so you just squeeze a little blob out and rub it in the desired location
. That to me is the best way to start - tiny little blob and then you should hopefully not get any of the undesirable side effects....
