There's been lots of hub-bub about the recent testosterone shortage in Canada, with many people expressing surprise that this could happen. When I was considering testosterone therapy and weighing my options, one thing I felt sure of was that because testosterone is a common medication for men — not a "transsexual drug" — I wouldn't be subjected to shortages. This was naive. In the 3 years and 9 months of being on testosterone, I've experienced not one testosterone shortage, but four. Testosterone shortages seem to be quite common here in Canada.
