Hello,
Good day.
It takes several days to act and need a steady blood level. This is a slow releasing pellet and takes days to couple of weeks. The dose is right and they will measure your peak and trough testosterone level together with your prostate level etc and then a decision on altering dose can be made. Please wait for few days more.
