Available dosage forms:
Tablets and capsules are easy to use. They cause the least amount of side reactions and are well tolerated by the body. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the relatively long period of onset of the main action and the rapid elimination of the active substance from the body. Despite this, it is tablets and capsules that are most often used to correct the level of the sex hormone in the body.
Plasters, gels and other external preparations also have a fairly quick effect, getting into a man's circulatory system. They guarantee long-term effects, but can cause a number of local side effects such as skin irritation, allergies, and the like.

It is not necessary to take pills or injections to increase the level of testosterone in the blood, you can use topical products.
