Do you offer compounded oral native testosterone? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8558846/

AlphaMD's Answer

We can prescribe it, though it is far less popular so pharmacies don’t make a large supply. For this reason, the cost is higher. Also, bioavailability of the oral forms are much lower, meaning many patients need a higher dose to get to a therapeutic range. Nearly all of our patients who have started on oral native testosterone ended up switching to injections.
