I was prescribed Androgel 10+ years ago and didn't use it more than 3 months because it was such a pain in the ass.
Firstly, you have to apply it everyday, which doesn't sound like a big deal, but gets old fast.
Secondly, applying it is a process, as my Dr. told me to shower, dry off, apply the gel, wait for it dry, then dry.
There are times when I just want to get dressed and go out the door. Or I don't feel like showering a 2nd or 3rd time that day just to apply the gel at the proper time.
Thirdly, it can be transferred to your partner, which I wasn't too worried about, but is still a negative.
Lastly, I just didn't feel good on it. I was always irritated and in a bad mood while using it.
I wouldn't use that stuff again if it were free.
