Androderm is a transdermal patch, designed to release testosterone over a
24-hour period, in a natural pattern resembling that of a healthy young man.
This product is being used primarily by older men who have reached an age in
which there body no longer produces sufficient amounts of testosterone ("Andropause").
Each patch contains 12.2 gm of testosterone, but according to the paperwork
only about 2.5 mg is dispersed in each 24-hour application. Two patches are
most commonly used, and are applied to the abdomen, back, thigh, or upper
arm. Athletes would no doubt find this dosage insufficient, and will likely
avoid this product all together.
Quite a number of patches would have to be used for a strong effect,
making it much easier to use an injectable testosterone instead
