How to Buy Testosterone Patches

As a male ages, various changes occur at a chemical level. The brain's pituitary gland commands the testicles to produce less testosterone. The change in this hormone level can cause a loss of hair, prolonged lethargic periods, and a low sex drive. Use of a testosterone patch may help to combat these changes. There are several kinds of patches available, each with their own dosage and application method. Testosterone patches can only be obtained with a prescription written by an accredited medical professional.
