Question 213 of 433
How do I judge an online testosterone clinic?
The short answer
Be wary of any service that prescribes after one test, treats normal levels, promises transformation, or sells a package.
A responsible prescriber confirms the diagnosis twice, looks for the cause, asks about fertility and sleep apnea, aims for the middle of the normal range, and checks blood counts and PSA on a schedule. A clinic that puts every man on the same high dose with a second drug to block estrogen and a third to protect the testicles is selling a product, not treating a patient.
