question from a user
Do you think people abusing (abusing may in most cases be a strong word) TRT for aesthetic purposes may hinder hypogonal men’s access to TRT?
AlphaMD's Answer
Yes. People are predictable and judgmental. Just like people assume all people with chronic pain and need narcotics are just addicts, people using AAS for aesthetic purposes have made society as a whole view TRT with suspicion. That suspicion risks politicians trying to regulate it.
As far as manufacturing, no. Testosterone is one of the easier meds for pharmacies to make (UGLs make it in their garage after all). I don’t think the supply side will ever be a problem.
