With every old dude sporting a jug of AndroGel these days, FYI:

"It is not known if AndroGel is safe or effective in children younger than 18 years old. ... AndroGel can transfer from your body to others. This can happen if other people come into contact with the area where AndroGel was applied."

"Signs of puberty that are not expected have happened in young children who were accidentally exposed to testosterone through skin-to-skin contact with men using topical testosterone products like AndroGel."

"Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed area where AndroGel has been applied. If a woman or child makes contact with the AndroGel application area, the contact area on the woman or child should be washed well with soap and water right away."

AndroGel made my skin start to peel. Injectable testosterone cypionate is far less danger to those around me, less fuss overall, and so much cheaper.

How much is Androgel for a month supply?

$700–$800 a month, in the U.S., with the usual "who knows what insurance pays" caveat.

Good ol' injectable testosterone is a full order of magnitude cheaper.

Hmm, with insurance Testim and IM are comparable in price for me (super cheap).

So it will counteract the estrogenic compounds already there?

I say this half-jokingly, this particular study concludes there are compounds but are currently not showing adverse effects.
