Testosterone Cream Dosage Information

Application Frequency

  • Transdermal Application:
    • Recommended: Twice a day (AM and PM)
    • May need three times a day for hyper excretors

Absorption and Efficacy

  • Faster Symptom Resolution:
    • Due to quicker absorption compared to injectables
    • Non-esterized form breaks down faster

Dosage Calculation

  • Standard Measurement:
    • Each click of the cream dispenser equals a quarter of a milliliter (ML) or a quarter of a gram
    • A typical tube is 30 grams
    • Four clicks equal one ML
  • Typical Strengths:
    • 10% cream = 100 milligrams per gram
    • 20% cream = 200 milligrams per gram

Surface Area and Absorption

  • Efficiency of Absorption:
    • Spreading 20% cream on the skin is less efficient due to reduced surface area
    • Example: 100 milligrams on 10% cream requires four clicks; two clicks on 20% cream is not equivalent

Common Dosage Practices

  • Average Application:
    • Two clicks in the morning and two clicks at night for symptom resolution
    • Adjust dosage based on individual response
  • Common Dosage:
    • 200 milligrams per day is common and effective
    • Adjustments: Some may require more to achieve physiological levels, others less

Personalized Dosage

  • Variability Among Individuals:
    • The dosage depends on the individual's body type and physiological needs
    • Example: More muscular individuals may need higher doses (e.g., 300 milligrams per day)
