Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi again Steve I agree with you that the patient-information with my T Gel said ca 6 hours. However, the absorption with be patient-independent ie idiosyncratic. Patients like myself found the Gel did not really work as do a certain %age of the population. In others the absorption will be quicker. Also if Norton, or another member here, is swimming etc after 2 hours PERHAPS he is not getting 100% of the total T but it is sufficient for his needs. Have a good day and even better holiday! I read your other msgs and I hope your tests are ok. _________________________________________ Randle _________________________________________ Re: holidays and swimming > > > > > > > >> > >> > just wondering what effect swimming will have on T levels, eg if I >> > apply gel at say 9 or 10am then swim at about 12 or 1pm >> > >> > Off on holiday in a couple of weeks, dont want the application of T >> to >> > control what I do on hols. >> -------------------------------- >> Hi Steve, I swim every other day, don't know of any scientific study >> done but I think I read somewhere that a skin spread on like Androgel >> is fully absorbed into the skin within two hours.

But for a short time I'd consider doing it at bedtime. - - - - Just another albino black sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
