I was tested for my testosterone levels by my urologist. My levels were very low and I had health issues related to that. I was unable to tolerate Androgel due to the alcohol base causing skin rashes. I have also tried Axiron with the same results. Neither of these drugs actually raised my testosterone levels. The drugs were also extremely expensive. $700+ per month and insurance was of no help. My doctor was going to try a long-acting injection which my insurance originally approved but then declined. At this point, my doctor contacted a compounding pharmacy and they stated that they could make me a topically applied cream that would not cause the skin rash issues I have experienced previously. The cream raised my testosterone levels to a point that I started to feel normal again and the cost was only $85 per month. I am 69 and have been using this medication for several years and I strongly feel it has greatly improved my life. To take this type of treatment away from elderly men that need it would be a great disservice to older individuals that need a testosterone treatment to keep their bodies and mental wellbeing at a level that allows us to function normally and enjoy a full life.
