Testim in the hot tub / swimming pool

[rj dio]

Howdy. I'm on 5 mg of Testim (1 tube) per day. Works great, a bit stickier than Androgel, but a lot more convenient than the giant pump.

My question is in regard to hot tubs and pools. Do I need to take a shower prior to entering, or will whatever chemicals in the pools (and heat in the tub) make whatever active ingredient that remains on my skin a non-issue to others in the water?

Thanks for any help!

I don't know for sure, but I suspect the shear volume of water in a tub or pool would mean your contribution would have close to zero effect.Rinsing off before getting in is recommended, I believe, but I doubt anyone will be harmed if you do not. Of course, you want to wait *at least* the 2 hours they recommend if *you* want the benefits of that expensive Rx.
