This is why SSRIs grouped together with Viagra is the popular choice for doctors, it pays their mortgages. There are no patents on pregnenolone even though it works better than most SSRIs for anxiety and for those with stuttering disorders, doctors chose what’s more profitable than what’s best for the patients.
The cost for pharma to produce testosterone is dirt cheap, not patents means they are unable to jack up the price and why it’s been ignored for so long and why doctors don’t know how to administer it.
T-Gels are profitable, the delivery system is patented and I believe why they’re scripted first. One could argue the references ranges were dropped to enable more prescriptions for SSRIs and Viagra instead of TRT, when the problem is low testosterone.
