I have 4 oblong red gel pills that are in a bottle labelled maxifort. Is this what the pills look like? If not, any idea what they can be? ## From what I can find Maxifort contains the active ingredient Sildenafil, commonly sold in the U.S. under the brand name Viagra. It is used to help treat Erectile Dysfunction. What they look like can vary, depending on the manufacturer. Are there any markings on the pills? That would be the best way to try and identify what they are. ## They haveto be yellow

How are you? I'm very sorry about the experience you had. However, this website does not sell any medications, it is an information only website. Did you pay by check or debit card? If so, you should be able to find information on your statement showing who it was that you ordered from, so you can contact them. Is there anything else I can help with?

I know Axiron works. its amazing. But still. The price? I could understand the price if it was the meds that were gonna keep my heart beating, and save my life. But a side effect is increased rish of stroke? Insurance doesnt want to pay for it, yet the price is so atronomical! Help me understand why. If it was half the price, I am sure double the users would be lining up! ## Well, if you really want to know, it's because of the millions of dollars that the manufacturer had to spend on research, development and testing to get it approved and bring it to market… once that happens, they have to spend even more to make people aware of its existence. And they only have a limited period of time in which to recoup their investment, so the price is always relatively high for name bran...

I have been on 2 pumps of axiron for a month. Energy and libido were much improved. After about a month I started getting nausea so I stopped it on the recommendation of the DR for 2 weeks. Everything settled down. I was not nauseous, but my energy and libido also went away. I re-started it and am nauseous again. If the nausea got better over time I am willing to work through it. ## Hello, Ted! How are you? Yes, it should get better after a month or so, once your body gets used to it, but if you change the dose at any time, you should be prepared for it to recur. Did your doctor suggest anything you can take to help with the nausea?

To all of you using Axiron, pleqae be careful! My husband used it for two years, 60 mg a day. He is in his early 40's and suffered a stroke a few months ago. If you start to feel a pain or numbness in one of your arms or hand, pleaae stop. His T level was a little under 300. Please be careful taking this! ## Hello, CC! How are you? How is your husband doing? I am so sorry about what happened. Yes, these testosterone supplements have been tied to an increased risk of stroke and cardiac events. Thank you for posting this warning for others.

my t-levels last quarter were 598 this quarter 459 iam on androgel 1.62% 2pumps daily when i started on the gel 1yr ago i was 218 my pain doc said it was due to prolonged opiod use after back surgery he stopped the opiods in2/1/13 why are my levels droping ? ## Hello, Peter! How are you? It is natural for them to drop with age, plus your body will eventually get used to the dose your using and it won't be as effective for you. Has your doctor made any dosage adjustments for you?

I had a prostatectomy in 09 and used viagra for 4 years. I was finding that I couldn't maintain my erection long enough during intercourse, so went to a urologist. He suggested caverject. Although I was initially opposed to using such therapy, I decided to try it. It works, maybe too well. The urologist didn't do a good job determining a correct dose. He used 1cc or 20mcg's in his office, and I had a very hard erection. He gave me a tablet to take if it lasted too long and sent me away. It lasted long and I was terrified to go to hospital. I'm a runner and so I ran and after 4-5 hours it went down. I continued to use it myself and checked on with his nurse. She was better than he was and she recommended 1/2 of that amount or 1/2cc/10mcg's of caverject. That was too l...

My husband has been using Androgel gel pump for over 10 years. Recently he tested over 1200 and then 2400 3 months later. We have no explanation for this other than maybe his body has begun making it's own testosterone again. ## Has your husband changed his diet while on this medication? If this is so, I know that to some degree, one's eating habits can effect the body's ability to effectively restore testosterone production; of course with the help of this supplement it can be common. At this point I would consider tapering down on the supplement (if needed) while keeping track of these tests to see if the results still fluctuate. It does sound like his body is producing testosterone again, and maybe all it needed was that kick start. ## Testosterone is metabolized by CYP3A...

I am currently taking Cialis super active 20mg with limited results. Is it safe to take Cialis 40 mg or (2) 20mg pills, thank you ## Hello, Bill! How are you? What results are you expecting from it? That is the most relevant question. The reason I'm asking is because these medications are often misunderstood and men often think they do things that they are not intended to do. What they actually do is increase blood flow, to help men who've had problems with ED and that is all they do. And no, it isn't safe to increase your dosage, that can cause some dangerous side effects. If your doctor hasn't evaluated you and prescribed this, it might not be safe for you to be taking it, at all. ## Hi Verwon, I just made an appointment with my doctor to help me with my ED. Thank you ...

My husband has been using AndroGel and I've been in contact with it. I'm 47 and I've noticed that some of my body hair has increased and is darker and there's more of it. This seems to be the only side effect. He's been careful as far as washing but obviously it's gotten onto my skin. I haven't noticed any other problems. Is this dangerous? ## Hello, Rachel! How are you doing? The biggest concern would be if you were intending to get pregnant, or are pregnant, because it can affect fertility and the baby. However, as to just you, it's not dangerous in the respect that it puts your life in danger….but it can screw up your natural hormonal balance, which is evidenced by your hair growth, so you may also end up finding yourself feeling more irritable a...

what is the difference between cialis super active and cialis professional? ## Hello, Bill! How are you? There are no differences, they are all just Cialis under different brand names, made by different companies trying to make a profit, but its all the same as what you'd get from a regular U.S. pharmacy. Is there anything else I can help with? ## thank you so much. you are very kind. that's all I need for now

Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced naturally by the body in both men and women, though more predominantly in the former. In men, this hormone develops the male reproductive tissues but has other side effects as well. An increase in testosterone means an increase in both muscle and bone mass as well as extra body hair growth. A low level of this hormone can lead to a low sex drive, hair loss, fatigue, and declines in both muscle and bone mass, so if you’re suffering from any of these, you might want to try out the following ways to boost your testosterone levels. ## There are quite a few ways to boost this hormone without using chemicals, and here are just a handful. - Lose Some Weight - Intermittent Fasting - Getting Your Vitamins and Minerals - Lifting weights - Reducing ...

any conflict between the two, VIAGRA AND KANIVACE?? ## Hello, Gary! How are you? I'm sorry, but since the Kavinace is a supplement, it has not been tested for possible interactions with prescription medicates, so this information is not available. Have you tried asking your doctor? They may know more from the experiences of other patients.

I've been on Androgel 10 yrs. Initially, an injection at first caused extreme mood swings. Then pump (4 pumps/ day = complete dose), started reducing last year, now 1/day. But, when I stop completely: profuse sweating, easily irritated, mood swings (like andropause - "mano-pause"). ## Rick how long have u been off now and are your symptoms getting better? I went off of it too and had the same issues as you with extreme anxiety as well and flu like symptoms. Went back to doctor and he said to get back on it which I did but I really want to get off of it for good. ## I increased dose to one pump per day, rotating admin sites. If you apply only to abdomen, you may get an upset tummy d/t the contraction effect that androgel has on muscle tissue (this is why weightlifters like to...

Hello Doctor put me on Fortesta for low testosterone level. I'm 44 and the level was 187. Been feeling pretty low, etc. The usual symptoms. Been on it about a week now. 4 pumps a day. Couple of questions: 1. Seems to take about 3-4 hours to completely dry. That seem right? 2. Leaving a red itchy patch at application site. Alternating daily, but running out of real estate on the inner thigh so to speak, before the area heals and can handle another application. Any recommendations to relieve the red itchy patches so that I can re-apply to the area sooner? Thanks! ## Hi BDD, I'm not sure what the answer would be to your first question, but if you're still concerned about the red itchy patches, I would personally recommend rubbing a couple drops of lavender essential oil (perhap...

I have used Axiron for 3 months. Last Feb, Mar and April. Then my insurance would no longer cover this very expensive medication. BUT it has worked better than any other testosterone replacement I've tried. I've tried Testim, Androgel, Androderm and injections. Axiron worked very well for me. T levels went from 195 to over 800. Much more energy and confidence. I also had to use Axiron first, then apply my Mitchum. I got skin tags but so what. Here is the bad part. After insurance dropping it, my levels plunged. I actually started getting hot flashes b/c my doc said my system stopped making testosterone all together since using Axiron. I went back to Androderm and the hot flashes stopped. I got a free 30 day supply of Axiron and after 25 days, my libido was thru the roof. Erectio...
