I'm going to be in Thailand for 40 days from October before going to Cambodia for a year. I take Testogel for Hypogonadism and I have had a prescription for over 16 years in Europe and Australia. I'm looking forward to not having to pay $200 a month on meds in Asia but I'm having trouble finding the Generic name for Androgel (testogel) by (Abbotts, Beyer Schering). Surely its not just Testosterone Gel as some sites are saying. I'm looking for the name that I can use with the pharmacists that they will actually understand and know what I'm looking for. I don't want to be left paying for something that I don't want or need and am actually not able to afford.

andriol testocaps box has 6strips of 10. one capsule contains 40mg. testosterone undecanoate. i have been paying 160baht per strip. i have found it in many pharmacy's.

Thanks for your response but that's exactly what I'm not looking for and it's because of this confusion that I want to get it right when I'm standing in front of the pharmacy attendant.

Andriol Testocaps are gel capsules that are consumed orally.

Testogel is a gel that comes in 5g sachets and is applied to the skin of the shoulders, arms of abdomin.

I need Testogel, but thanks for your reply.

The brand is Androgel, made by Besins and distributed by Zuellig. It may prove a little hard to source, you will do best at large pharmacies that cater to farangs.

should or should i not try these products sometime?

You should not just "try" them. If you think your testosterone levels are low, get them tested.

Which is very easy to do.....go clinic, take a little bit blood....pay (not much) and next day you get the results.

Thanks Sheryl any idea of price per box. Maybe 1000baht?

Afraid I have no idea of cost, sorry.

The only test gel I've seen in pharmacies is 'Tostran', it's in a pump dispenser, and is manufactured in Scotland- not sure how it found its way to Thailand !

If you're going to Pattaya, it would be worth you going to visit Dr Olivier. He's 'in tune' with what men need...

Tostran is not registered in Thailand so however it made its way here, it wasn't through legit channels..or possibly what you saw is not real.

Androgel, made by Besins and distributed by Zuellig, is available in Thailand but become so quite recently.

Hello, I suggest you Testogel 50 mg gel 30 sachets. The manufacturer of this product is Besins Healthcare.

I bought this product from online pharmacy directpharmashop.net

All was good with the shipment and product. You can purchase the product at the following link:

Any information on price?  Androgel is insanely expensive in the United States.

You should go to proper dr, who know what he is doing, and maybe trt is not the solution he need. 

Low testosteoron need to be seen as a whole picture of a blood panel test. Go to anti age center or a proper trt clinic who can guide you. 
 

Can be a combination of many factors, low vitamin d, low b12,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I saw it at several larger Boots pharmacies. The price was much more than that, imported products are expensive here.

Astro gel is 2400b at Bangkok drug. . You can order online

Dr. Olivier has been pushing Nebido for quite some time. I prefer testosterone enanthate, that’s why I stopped seeing Olivier and buy my vials from Ocean Pharmacy for 250 baht each. Yes, the price has gone up but it is still cheaper than Nebido and much less of a hassle than using the gels.

I've had low testosterone and been on replacement therapy since I was 18 initially took tablets daily until it was proven that the gut juices destroyed the testosterone and oral medication is absolutely useless. I then progressed to injections (I have used Nebido and Ethantate and didn't find any difference) when I was 28 which allowed me to grow a beard (which I have kept ever since) the downside was aching at the injection site which was sometimes debilitating  even though I used a fine needle. As I grew older an inherited muscle wasting disease became apparent in my 40's so the muscle mass in my legs where I gave the injection decreased The injection itself is painless, just have to get over the yuck factor of sticking a needle into your leg but is is the fact that you inject 1ml of thick oily fluid into the muscle which breaks the muscle fibres and causes the ache. Moved on to gel quite a few years ago and found it messy but painless, I just have ensure that  I wash my hands thoroughly after applying and my wife or children do not touch the area of skin where it is applied because it can cause hirsuteness and early puberty. It can be washed off after 6 hours so I shower, apply it at 8am and have a shower at 2pm. Now I am used to it I find it much more convenient and less painful than injections. Point to note is that I have had air con installed in the bathroom after the first summer I spent here (44 degrees) because the gel has less effect when applied to sweaty skin (I always sweated profusely after a shower in that summer). I am looking to source the gel in the  North East of Thailand where we live now.

I actually found the testosterone pump more convenient than the sachets
