question from a user
Most people on TRT are doing the injections, I can’t seem to find the answer of what gel/cream dose is required to match at 150 or 200mg injection dose. I know there are 40.5mg test gels on the market but does that mean you get that dose per application or week?

The reason it's hard to figure out is because you can get so many combinations from compounding pharmacies on demand. You'd look at the concentration per ML and figure out how many ML come out in a "pump" or "tick" from whatever company you'd get it from. Then you'd know how many MGs you'd have per 2-4 "pumps". You'd shoot for 100mg-200mg a day depending on a lot of factors like intended application site, dose needed, and how responsive & consistent you are. The best place will almost always be the scrotum due to how thin the tissue is there, but a lot of men tend to ignore instructions because they don't like that idea leading to a lower than intended absorption rate.
I hope that helps some, it's a odd medication to work with because there's so many variables in medication & patient.
