A member asked:

I just found out my pharmacy has been overdosing me on testosterone cream. my saliva test was 3524. i am having surgery soon. is it safe ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but: Pharmacy compounded testosterone is not as safe or standardized as pharmaceutical company replacement. Talk to your doctor about switching to a more appropriate product.
