Read their experiences with Male Excel
Thank God I found Male Excel
I found Male Excel a few years ago when I was looking for ways to take testosterone to help improve my energy, vitality, and sex drive. They have been very easy to work with and the doctors I communicate with have been honest, efficient, and helped me reach all the goals I had set. I’ve lost over 20 pounds, now do Pilates 5 days a week, lift weights 3/4 days a week, and have tremendous energy and vitality I was looking for. I just turned 71, and can honestly say I feel better than I’ve felt in several years.

Superior quality and service
Superior quality and service. When I couldn’t get testosterone replacement therapy at age 60, I was medically evaluated by Male Excel and received TRT and other medication for returning my testosterone level to that of my 20s. Clearing up my mind, increasing stamina and energy levels, along with gradually increasing my strength & muscle mass, improving my work performance. 💪

FAQs about testosterone cream
What are the potential side effects of compounded testosterone cream?
Like all prescription medications, testosterone therapy may cause side effects. These can include acne or oily skin, increased hematocrit, elevated blood pressure, mood changes, breast tenderness, reduced sperm production and fertility, and irritation at the application site. Topical testosterone may also transfer to another person through skin contact. Your clinician will monitor your symptoms, laboratory results, and blood pressure and adjust treatment when appropriate.
How does Male Excel monitor treatment over time?
Treatment is not a one-time prescription. Your medical provider uses ongoing symptom reviews, laboratory testing, medical history, treatment goals, and your response to treatment to guide dosing and adjustments. Because absorption of topical testosterone can vary between individuals, follow-up testing helps your provider determine whether the prescribed dose is appropriate for you.
Is compounded testosterone cream FDA-approved?
No. Compounded testosterone cream is not FDA approved, and the FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. FDA-approved topical testosterone gels, including AndroGel®, are available, but they are different products with their own formulations, concentrations, dosing instructions, and approved labeling. A licensed clinician may prescribe a compounded preparation when they determine it is appropriate for a patient’s specific clinical needs.
What is testosterone cream used for?
Testosterone cream is used to help treat low testosterone levels in men. Male Excel uses a compounded formulation that combines bioidentical testosterone with cream, a transdermal delivery base designed to support absorption through the skin and into the bloodstream.
Which is more effective: Testosterone injections or cream?
Both testosterone injections and topical testosterone cream can effectively increase testosterone levels when prescribed appropriately. Testosterone cream may support higher dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in some men, particularly with certain application methods. DHT is a potent androgen involved in libido, erectile function, and overall androgen response. The best option depends on your symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and provider recommendation.
How much does testosterone cream cost?
Cost depends on your prescribed dosage and treatment plan. To determine what your body needs, Male Excel begins with a comprehensive hormone assessment. For $99, this includes an at-home hormone test kit, online consultation with a licensed provider, and a personalized treatment recommendation. Testosterone cream pricing varies based on dosage and any additional medications prescribed as part of your protocol.
Will the price of my testosterone cream increase?
Your treatment cost may change if your prescribed dosage changes over time. Some men require dosage adjustments as their provider works to optimize hormone levels, symptoms, and overall response to treatment. Any changes to pricing will depend on your personalized prescription and treatment plan.
How long does testosterone cream take to work?
Some men report improvements in sleep, energy, mood, libido, or mental clarity within the first few weeks of treatment. Physical changes such as body composition, strength, and recovery may take longer. Results vary based on hormone levels, dosage, consistency, lifestyle, and individual response.
What is the best place to apply testosterone cream?
Application sites may include the scrotum or inner thigh depending on your protocol. These areas may support higher absorption due to thinner skin and increased vascularity. Male Excel typically prescribes testosterone cream as part of a twice-daily protocol, with applications spaced throughout the day to help support stable hormone levels. Your provider will explain the correct application method for your treatment plan.
Can I switch from testosterone cream to injections?
Yes. Treatment plans can be adjusted over time based on your symptoms, goals, labs, and provider recommendation. Before your refill is processed, you’ll have the opportunity to review your current treatment plan and discuss alternative testosterone delivery methods if appropriate.
Do I need a prescription for testosterone cream?
Yes. Testosterone cream is a prescription medication and should only be used under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider. Male Excel treatment begins with lab testing and a provider consultation to determine whether treatment is clinically appropriate.
Is testosterone cream safe?
Testosterone therapy has been studied for decades and, when properly prescribed and monitored, is widely used to help treat men with low testosterone. Male Excel includes ongoing symptom reviews, lab monitoring, and provider oversight to help support safe and effective treatment throughout therapy.
Does testosterone cream affect fertility?
Testosterone therapy may reduce sperm production and fertility in some men. If fertility preservation is important to you, discuss this with your provider before starting treatment. Alternative treatment approaches may be available depending on your goals.
Can testosterone cream transfer to other people?
Yes. Skin-to-skin transfer is possible before the cream has fully absorbed. Hands should be washed thoroughly after application, and contact with others should be avoided until the application site is fully dry.
Do I need blood work while using testosterone cream?
Yes. Regular lab monitoring is an important part of testosterone therapy. Your provider may monitor hormone levels and other health markers over time to help guide dosing and treatment adjustments.
What makes Male Excel different from other TRT clinics?
Male Excel provides physician-guided hormone optimization built around The Excel Advantage™ protocol. Treatment plans are personalized and include ongoing provider oversight, regular symptom reviews, precision dosing, and long-term monitoring rather than one-time prescriptions.
Does testosterone cream raise DHT levels?
Certain application methods, particularly scrotal application, may increase DHT levels in some men. DHT is a potent androgen associated with libido, sexual function, and androgen response. Your provider will determine the most appropriate application protocol based on your labs, symptoms, and goals.
What happens if I miss a dose of testosterone cream?
If you miss a dose, follow your provider’s instructions. Do not apply extra medication unless specifically advised. Consistent use is important for maintaining stable hormone levels throughout treatment.
