A member asked:
Is it ok for someone with normal testosterone levels to use androderm patches for higher testosterone? is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No/never. Yes/always: No, if you have normal testosterone (T) levels, you should not use Androderm patches or any other form of T replacement therapy. Yes, it's dangerous, especially if you're using someone else's medication w/o proper supervision. In this situation, you risk heart attack & stroke, as well as infertility, hair loss, acne, change in mood for worse, gynecomastia, prostate issues, etc. Don't do it!
