I was responding to the op. Nonetheless, I stated that if one's testosterone was withing the normal range that no supplements are needed and thus by inference if they are not medication would be needed of course. Best of luck.

is there a low testosterone cream here in this country?

My father suffers from hypogonadism due to pituitary surgery and has been taking testosterone shots for a few years now. He normally takes Testosterone CYP 200 mg/ml. Sometimes when he is staying with us for a long visit, he will run out of his medicine and I have looked for a substitute for him to use until he returns to his home. Thanks to Dv8 and her kindness, she helped me to locate a perfect substitute sold in the Dominican Republic. It is called Testoviron Depot 250 mg/ml. His doctor has told him that it is a fine replacement and it is certainly easier to buy it here as opposed to going through all of the hassle of sending it from out of the country. I live in Santiago and usually have no problem finding it but always call ahead a few days before we need it so we can be sure that they will have it available. It costs about RD $1000 per vial which lasts him about two weeks ( 2 - .5 ml injections).

My father was very reluctant to use testosterone after his surgery largely due to all of the negative publicity that abounds regarding it?s abuse. Fortunately, his doctor was very persuasive and it has made a remarkable difference in his quality of life.
I hope this helps you out and thanks again Dv8!
This helps a lot thank you very much! I go to Santiago every few weeks so ty. That really doesn't last long holy! Mine last for about 6 months! i would take less though. I take .25 of 200mg once a week. Hmm going to van in aug so will get more but I am relieved in case i need it there is a place.
I did look it up before we moved here and knew it was somewhere!!!!
I honestly never knew people abused testosterone!

The "6 pack of beer " grip works as well. To be used with lighter weights (unless you're into ranching) and applies more pressure at fingertips to help "move the weight". Like any workout, washing your hands afterwords is recommended - particularly the thumb
With all due respect to anyone calling themselves "experts" or knowledgeable in the field, steroids are the Wild West of the medical world, and even the doctors don't have all the answers.
There is no such thing as bringing T levels up to "normal" for a relatively healthy middle-aged man. Men in this age bracket have falling levels of testosterone and HgH because that's what the natural aging process entails. When a doctor prescribes enough T to get an older gentleman up to "normal" levels, it usually means he's targeting the type of T production of a much younger man. That ain't normal.
Also, as one poster erroneously pointed out, testosterone therapy doesn't automatically shrink one's testicles to the size of peanuts. You must take prodigious amounts of T for that to happen.
The secret lies in "micro-dosing". Take just enough to minimize the side effects and you will still feel a marked difference. This involves individual experimentation, because no one person will respond the same way to the same amounts of whatever it is they're taking.
If the OP is asking about testosterone replacement therapy and he plans on self-medicating, he'll probably get it wrong. He needs to see an endocrinologist to see where his levels are and go from there.
The reason why hormone replacement therapy has taken off in the US is vanity and fear of growing old gracefully. It's a growing filed where plenty of quacks are setting up shop and irresponsibly writing prescription after prescription of steroids they have no business prescribing.
I'm all for feeling better at any age, but don't go irresponsibly marinating yourself in T or whatever else. You have no idea what the side-effects will be for you. On a more practical level, for testosterone the patches are definitely better than the cream, and the injections are better than both. With the patches, you can use them whenever you're feeling sluggish and you can keep the area localized without fear of rubbing the stuff on anyone else. And the amount won't bombard your system with too much T all at once like injections do.
But I don't think they sell the patches in the DR. I know they are sold in certain Latin American countries, but they are much more expensive than the injectable form. And the thing about injections, you have to know what gauge needle you need and how to administer the injection itself unless you plan on running to the doctor every time you take a shot.

berzin, i think this discussion has moved a bit away from the original post, as always it is true, we are not experts here but i would not knock off the advice. some people are users and they give their personal opinions that come from experience. i say what is available and suggest checking with the doctor what replacement found in DR can be used. all this is not off the mark. it is up to the person who asked the question to read what was posted, double check it online and confirm with a specialist.

i was gettin big everything was good.but doin research every night made me a bit nervous so i got a blood test.my estroidol estrogen was 111 normal was 39 and below.i luckly got in touch with a pro bodybuilder that is a monitor and developer of one of the premier bodybuilding forums in the country.he gave me a plan which im still doing to this date,almost 2 months after the last injection.
ur screwing with ur hormones and puttin them in uncontrolable levels.some people have no problem and some there are lots of problems.if ur estrogen stays high, well u grow man boobs bigger that ur girl and all that muscle that looks good now turns to *hit later thats the facts!!!
and no one tell me tamaxifeno or clomid works.thats way outdated.like the 80's when a cycle only lasted a month.and each steroid has different side affects.if u take ai for test. it wont work for deca which u would get gyno from progesterone
with deca.
never listen to the people in the gyms.what might have worked for one person might not work for the next person.
and yes ur balls change in size.alot smaller.when u take test. its like ur on a viagra high all day.i never had a roid rage.i dont believe that.now im taking letrozole and yes im havin problems gettin it up.i get checked out next week to see if all my levels are good still and another in 2 weeks.fun huh???
i personally would of done more research before i decide to "jump in"
it works very well but its 90% diet and 10% the steroids.u can take all the steroids in the world but if u dont have the proper nutrition ur *ucked.
u are playin with the natural chemistry of ur body.u can develop breast like a woman from hyperthyroidism and not even know it cause ur blood work comes in clean.
dont play with GOD's creation.

irateskateboards-This is why I say the test patches would be the OP's best bet. You can monitor the dosage and control how much you are using while minimizing the side effects. You don't have to use that much, or run cycles of anything to get a pep in your step.
For a middle-aged guy who just wants to feel better, why go on a body building regimen to gain mass and strength? Is there a pressing need to be able to pull a bus with a rope tied to your neck down Pedro Clisante? The guys at the gym who promote this type of usage do so because they are probably dealers on the side. And in the DR, a steroid middleman is not necessary when you can go straight to the pharmacy. In fact, these are exactly the guys to avoid, because they will overcharge you and sell you crap that is either counterfeit or way past the sell-by date. Avoid them at all costs.
The hard-core guys are into diet and exercise. For the rest of the people looking into hormone replacement therapy, they just want to look and feel a little better, and the pharmaceutical companies are selling them the fountain of youth at an impressive price. At least in the DR you can get down with a plan for relatively a low cost.
There are two drugs now in late-stage clinical trials. One is a derivative of HGH. It's basically the fat-loss drug America has been waiting for-you can lose fat and not move off your couch. This is going to be a bigger hit than Viagra.
Another one fools the body into thinking it's at altitude, thus causing one's system to produce more red blood cells than normal. It's supposedly targeted at anemia patients, but it's potential abuse as an EPO substitute already has the athletic world jumping up and down at the potential.

Don't take nebido. Its too large of a dose. Intra muscular slow release is not possible. I take testosterone propinate. 1/2 a ml twice a week works fine. You can get a 100 ml vile here for around 7000 pesos. It's from a pharmaceutical company like holland labs. If you want more info send me a pm.
There is another option
CLOMID... yes it is for females, but it has an interesting off label effect for men. Do to health issues my testosterone dropped to 70. The bottom of normalal is 200. Within 4 weeks my testosterone was 350.
Consider it, apparently it is well tolerated by men. i have had zero problems
