What dosage am I really getting?

[ZTEM]

My test cream says--- 200mg testosterone cream / ml

Now its a pump...one pump (about the size of a jelly bean) I certainly cannot even imagine its 200mg per ml so can someone please help me out here?

I'm surprised the doc that **'d this didnt tell you....or maybe the cream has an insert?

Now, with androgel /testim (also transdermal test in gel form), you absorb 10% of the strength of the dose....so if the cream you are using is similar then you would be absorbing 10% or 200mg per dose which is 20mg and if done twice daily that would be 40mg per day and 280mg every week of course...
hope this helps

What is the name of the cream?

[ZTEM]

I just read through all paperwork that I got and there is nothing stating the name---

its from a pharmacy in NJ---

just says Testosterone 200mg/ml Cream---

use 1 pump (1ml) and appl to inner arms or thighs twice a day

Probably compounded. Call the pharmacy - they are often more helpful with the specifics of the actual details of the meds thna the prescribing physician, esp. if they compounded it.
