Can Testosterone Pump Be Used Instead Of Androgel?
Question: I have been using Androgel for 3 years, but now too expensive. There is a generic referred to as Testosterone Pump. Is this equal or equivalent to the Androgel?
Brief Answer:
Both contain testosterone.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, androgel and testosterone pump is the same preparation but the concetration of testosterone in both preparation may differ.
As a result the daily dose may be different.
To help you further you may attach the concetration of androgel and the daily dose you have been taking and the concentration of testosterone pump.
Looking forward to help you further.
Kind regards,
