Half-life estimate, not bloodwork or dosing advice. Disclaimer.
Daily transdermal TRT (AndroGel / Testogel). Modeled as daily input with a ~1 day half-life — a sketch of topical replacement, not a serum assay.
The default row models 50.0 mg as a transdermal dose, daily (ed), for 12 weeks.
Also called AndroGel, Testosterone gel, Testogel.
| Half-life | 1d |

| Time to peak | 0.3d |
| Parent hormone | 100% |
| Default dose | 50.0 mg |
| Default frequency | Daily (ED) |
| Default duration | 12 weeks |
On that default row the model counts 84 doses. Steady state is about day 5. Washout runs to about day 5.3. In the last interval the peak is 100.0 mg and the trough is 61.6 mg, a swing of 38%.
A half-life of 1d means each dose has mostly cleared before the next daily dose, so the line is a row of spikes.
Test C has a half-life of 5d against 1d on this page.
AndroGel / Testogel labels: daily application; elimination half-life on the order of a day after absorption. How the model works.
