AndroGel vs. Testim
I've tried both products. Didn't care for Testim as it had an odor and was difficult to wash off hands.<br> <br> Achieved seemingly quick results with AndroGel in terms of reduced fatigue, and improvement in libido. Libido has remained high and interest in sex has caused wife problems since her interest is somewhere between what mine used to be and what it is now. Fatigue returned for awhile but has since gone away. Increase in estrodiol (apparently not uncommon with TRT) was seen but it has since lowered again.<br> <br> Readings I have done about products indicate that Testim shows greater increase in Testosterone level than AndroGel but the data is suspect. It was only for a short period of time. There's no concrete information about Testim being superior when it matters - 2 months later, seven months later or even a year.<br> <br> Previous posters have stated various results. Wonder how long they stuck with therapy. It can take six months for full benefits of either product to be seen. I've been on AndroGel over a year and I believe it is helping me. I cannot say I tried Testim that long, but it conceiveably could have done the same. If you try AndroGel, you might consider their new pump. I prefer it over the packets. It's easier to use (and I actually get about 34 days worth of medicine in the two bottles that come with my monthly supply, as opposed to 30 packets.)
