    Comment:
    I have been on Fortesta going on 45 months now, 4 pumps per day. I have noticed that once I get into the 4th week of a pump, around 110 - 115 pumps, that the amount of medication delivered with some of the pumps is less that normal. Has anyone else experienced any issues with inconsistent amounts of the gel being delivered? Thanks

    I an 76 years old and have low T (72). After being on this drug for 3 months now have good erections and wife is much more satisfied. Prior to taking this there was no semen at ejaculation. Now as much or more than when I was younger. No side effects. I will be tested in another month to see the T increase. Love this and will continue to use it.

    Noticed significant improvement in sexual desire after 3 weeks using 4 pumps. At 6 weeks I suddenly had a very nervous/anxious feeling in my stomach and loss of appetite. I cut back to 2 pumps and symptoms decreased. I stopped using fortesta for a week and then began 1 pump a day for a week or so. I then increased to 2 pumps and I have no side effects at all. I've been on 2 to 3 pumps dail ... Show Full Comment
