testosterone gel for lack of libido
<!--[endif]-->
Forget the tablets. They are murder on the liver and since it is a large molecule not absorbed well.
See a doc. If you are male just get the standard free testosterone test. If low they will gladly prescribe one of the two FDA approved gels. If it is not low then adding more testosterone will not improve your libido.
If you are a female you may have trouble finding a doc to prescribe. There are many good studies that show low testosterone in a female cause’s low libido and vaginal dryness.
Convince you doc to look at the studies.
The typical packet of Androgel (the most popular prescription testosterone gel) that a male would use daily is the total amount women should use in a full week. The pump style can be metered out properly for a female.
There are labs in England that supposedly sell cheaper testosterone lotions formulated differently for men and women. They require a script but will accept a script for one of the FDA approved ones.
