Testosterone: No, your body will not absorb this medicine through the stomach. First, your stomach acid will likely break down the medicine; second, testosterone taken orally had caused liver problems in the past and not used anymore. There is a patch and a gel that could be tried for hormone replacement instead of a shot.
