AndroGel

[Josh]

I have my script but... The cost is ridiculous. My doc put me on this because it's a smoother emotional transition than the shots. And I have insurance but I have yet to call and see if it's covered (most likely not). Ideas? I have a part time job as does my girlfriend (she's going to help pay). I'm probably just going to call my doctor and ask about the shots instead.

I would just call the doc and get shots.  Do them weekly.  Everyone I know of who has split their dose from every 14 days to every week has had no problem with their hormones not being even.

Yeah Androgel was costing me $70/ month with insurance; it's like $300/ month without! GAK!

Do you have access to a compounding pharmacy? My understanding, and I don't know much about this is that this type of pharmacy can compound a cream with the approp. dose of T. It might be a little messier than the gel but it would be a LOT cheaper.

Maybe someone else has more info??

Try the Abbott patient forms? You can get a free or discounted supply of Androgel through them. That, or you could return to the shots if you're willing.

Hey guys thanks you SO much for all your input, it has definitely helped! Good news, I have found the means and helping ways to get my script of AndroGel for fifteen bucks! So excited to start lol soon enough!

THat's awesome! how did you get it for so little?

[Josh]

1- smutty you look freakin awesome! I hope I can look half as good as you!
2- do you know what cvs Caremark is? My mom has that with our insurance or something I guess and it lowers the copay so much. Like I'm not covered for AndroGel under insurance but I am covered through/by pharmacy or something. My mom is not supportive at all so she could take me off her insurance and stuff but I doubt it.

Ah thanks, man!

oh yeah I'm familiar with CVS/Caremark; that's freakin awesome!

[Josh]
