A member asked:
I'm a 58 yo male who has been using testim (10mg/day - 2 tubes) for about 7 years. i'm not 100% compliant with applying the gel everyday, so i was wondering if testopel pellets are as effective.

Yes, but: In general, they provide a more constant level in the blood, but usually much higher than the creams.

Not recommended!: More expensive. Less precise. Requires a steel trochar to insert into muscle (damaging muscle fibers). If you miss your topical dose of testosterone every so often, it is not a major issue!

The Answer = YES: Testopel pellets are fda approved, safe and effective: see http://www.Testopel.Com if you seek an hrt solution that delivers a consistent dose over a long period of time, then you will enjoy the benefits of this mode of therapy. As for the procedure, the pellets are placed into the subcutaneous tissue....Not into the muscle. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions with anesthestia.
