question from a user
Tell me how you justify prescribing someone TRT at a level at of 400 ng/dl?
AlphaMD's Answer
That's a pretty easy answer, since you're not providing any other context for an imaginary patient, which is significantly important. If their age, symptoms, or previous levels indicate it would be correct to do so, then we will do that.
