A member asked:

My dad/66 left his androgel in tennessee he has been without it for 3 days now. is it ok to quit taking cold turkey then start back again?

Dr. James Lin answered

It's okay...: Clinically, it's okay for a brief interruption in topical use of Androgel. However, it's advisable to have proper clinical follow-up and timely testosterone testing after resuming its use so to assure restoring testosterone to its optimal level.
