A HA, another victom of the Opra Winfrey backlash. You will see in the posts to this forum over the last 2-3 months several outbreaks of discussion on this topic. I myself do occasionally prescribe andriol which is testosterone decanoate in pill form. I usually look up the dose, but I believe the pill has 40 mg in it. I start with 1 pill every third day and titrate up as appropriate. I perscribe this primarily for decreased libido (after the usual history to sort out other causes). I do not use topical formulations as I understand the absorption to be somewhat variable. John

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
