TestosteroneThe Generic name of this drug

Effectiveness
How Androderm Affects PatientsTestosterone is a hormone that helps develop male sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Its effects vary from person to person, but generally last between 10-100 minutes. A typical adult man will have a testosterone level of 300-1000ng/dL, which is considered safe. It is important to note that children who come into contact with testosterone products may also experience its effects, so caution should be used when applying.
How Androderm works in the bodyThe androgen receptor helps the body develop masculine characteristics. It binds to testosterone and other hormones, which are carried into the nucleus of cells. Here, these hormones interact with DNA and other regulators to activate certain genes. This process is responsible for sexual development, including the growth of the prostate, penis, and scrotum. Testosterone also causes secondary sexual characteristics like facial and body hair, a deeper voice, and changes in muscle and fat distribution.

Androderm Reviews: What are patients saying about Androderm?
5Patient Review
9/27/2012 I've only been taking this for a week, and I'm already seeing better performance in the gym. My recovery time is shorter, and my libido has increased. I would gladly pay out of pocket to keep taking this medication because it's improved my quality of life so much.
3.7Patient Review
5/16/2014 This treatment really helped me out. My drive increased and it almost always cured my ED. I had more energy, which was great for getting things done around the house. The only downside is that it can make you a bit more aggressive; but overall, I'm really happy with this product!
3Patient Review
7/6/2016 The 4mg patch has really helped me with my energy levels and muscle shaping.
2.7Patient Review
3/11/2017 I'll update this review after I've used the product for a longer period of time. For now, I want to leave a note about the company. I reached out with some questions but they were unhelpful because all they do is sell the product. This seems like very basic information that should be readily available to customers.
2.7Patient Review
4/23/2012 My husband started using the 4mg Androderm patches and noticed enlarged NON-tender lymph nodes in his neck. Has anyone had this experience?? He has a history of Hodgkin's lymphoma so he's seen his oncologist & has a biopsy scheduled. I'd rather this be some sort of rare reaction to the patches verses a Hodgkin's relapse.
2.7Patient Review
1/29/2021 I'm 73 and think I might have age-related hormone deficiencies. In the past, I've used testosterone shots, gel, and now patches. The shots were uncomfortable, the gel was messy, and the patches are leaving itchy red welts that last weeks--on top of being very expensive. Not happy with any of these options.
2.3Patient Review
9/4/2012 I was on this medication for six weeks. It gave me more energy at first, but then stopped working and started causing deep burning pain in my arms and shoulders. Has anyone else experienced this side effect?
2.3Patient Review
1/23/2015 The Androderm patch unfortunately gave me prostatitis, insomnia, and a general feeling of malaise.
2Patient Review
9/24/2014 My Total T level at start was 234 My free was also very low. After 6 weeks on 4mg Androderm patch my levels were again checked. Total Testosterone NINETY SIX !!!! Free almost non existent!! WTF?? Doctor started me injections immediately. This stuff made me worse? How can it DROP you that far?
1.7Patient Review
12/8/2012 This medication didn't provide any benefits for me. A waste of time and money.
1.3Patient Review
3/31/2013 Unfortunately, my testosterone levels dropped even lower after using the androderm patch for just one month.
1Patient Review
8/26/2020 I took Androderm for 31 days and had no change in my testosterone levels. Consequently, I would not recommend this treatment to anyone.
