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)
