I have a family member who was prescribed androgel. I understand that there are safer options but this is what was prescribed to him. I'm not sold that there is any sort of plan in place for him during cycle or any post cycle plan. I am mildly educated on designer orals. But I do not have enough education to advise him myself concerning the androgel.
He was prescribed androgel with a total test of 330.
If I were to guess, I would say the low test is due to very high levels of personal stress and due to severe chronic pain (inoperable degenerative discs).
46 year old
no previous cycle history

His diet is mediocre to slightly above average relative to typical diets. His diet is poor relative to members of this forum. He works out 3 times per week with limitations due to his back injury.
1) I assume androgel can aromatize. Is it necessary for an ON cycle AI?
2) He is taking the lowest 5g packet of 1% once per day. Is a serm, AI, cort control necessary for a post cycle plan?
3) Neither his physician nor his pharmacist instructed with ancillary support. This raises the question as to the potential danger of uneducated physicians having the authority to prescribe this type of treatment :think:
