Andro gel-was told if t is low it's safe and people having trouble with side effects are those whose levels are normal and using the drug?

Used only if: you have low T. If it is normal you do not need it. Does lower good cholesterol and raise triglycerides and new studies have shown an increased cardiovascular risk if you take it.
