Advice/Tips
If prescribed more that 5mg/day, request doctor prescribe Androgel pump instead of the packets.
Burden
using 10mg/day became messy when restricted by previous insurer to use of Androgel packets. Once I discovered new insurer accepts use of Androgel's pump, I switched as it is much easier to use their pump format.
