A conversation with Adriane Fugh-Berman, MD, Associate Professor at Georgetown University Medical Center and Director of PharmedOut. We discuss how the marketing of Androgel uses symptom quizzes to convince men and physicians that "low testosterone" is a medical condition that should be treated. We also discuss the dangerous side effects of testosterone treatment and the similarities with estrogen treatment side effects, which took 20 years to unveil.
