Re: Transdermal absorbtion

ANDRODERM is a transdermal drug delivery system consisting of a self adhesive patch surrounding a central drug reservoir of testosterone dissolved in an alcohol-based gel.

ANDRODERM provides continuous delivery of testosterone for 24 hours following application to intact, non-scrotal skin (e.g. back, abdomen, thighs, upper arms).

ANDRODERM Transdermal Patch delivers in vivo 2.5 mg of testosterone per day across skin of average permeability.

The ANDRODERM 2.5 mg/day Transdermal Patch has a 7.5 cm2 active surface area and contains 12.2 mg testosterone USP and contains ethanol, purified water, glycerol, glyceryl monooleate, methyl laurate, Carbomer Copolymer (Type B), and sodium hydroxide as excipients in the drug reservoir.

You will notice that I highlighted the "Average permeability" There are a lot of "depends" here. But as it was presented to me "Professional opinion of absorbtion.. Poor."

However, you will get more absorbtion with a heating pad over it.

Hope this makes sense to you... PM me if you need specific info.

I have testoderm Gel 50mg per vial so its 3 times the amount and surface area is greatly increased to whatever you rub it onto.
