FDA approved new TRT last november. It is applied underarm. Is anyone using it. ?? I know nothing about its cost, effectiveness.

With 13 million men using TRT, this is pretty big business.

Cholesterol and blood pressure medication go a long way to suppress a man's ability to create and/or utilize natural testosterone. So the drug companies make more money from TRT and ED meds. What a racket.

Hmmm. Since I am on HRT (TRT) I think I will check this out. My pharmacist has not heard of it but will check. If it does not contain alcohol, it might be something to look into. My Uro who writes my prescription isn't in today so will havewait to check with him. Also will have to check to see if my insurance will cover it like it does AndroGel and Testim.

It contains both ethanol and isopropyl alcohol. I checked with my regular drug supplier, Medco, and they do not carry it at least at present, not sure about someplace local like Walgreen's.
