I'm traveling to a country where testosterone can't be taken across the border, and I currently use gel. Is there an alternative for use while I'm away or before I travel?
If you're unable to travel with your testosterone medication (and would otherwise be without it during your trip), the best alternative would be to temporarily swap to injections. Sustanon and Enanthate last for three weeks, and Nebido lasts for 12 weeks.
