Forms:

ED:

  • Does not do viagra 50mg. Only viagra 100mg or cialis 20mg. Likes to do largest dose and titrate back if anything.
  • Cialis 5mg daily with viagra 50mg PRN (100mg tablet cut in half) for combo therapy
  • He still mentions intraurethral suppositories for educational purposes. He does not have a secret connect
  • Uses trimix for ICI, not alprostadil. This is available at the VA too (nonformulary)
  • Uses trimix for doppler studies. He performs his own dopplers

EVALUATING LOW T:

  • Dr. Jenkins likes to check peaks (24-48 hours after injection) versus Dr. Hellstrom likes to check for troughs (days 6 or 7)
  • Takes 7-10 days for the free testosterone lab to come back

Initial evaluation:

Labs to be done before 10am

  • LH
  • Free testosterone (ENSC) - this is a send out. DO NOT ORDER "TESTOSTERONE FREE PANEL"
  • Total testosterone - can be ENSC or in house
  • Estradiol
  • PSA (only baseline or if clinically indicated)
  • CBC w/o differential (he doesn't want the extra info)

Repeat evaluation (done every 6 months once stable):

  • LH
  • Estradiol
  • Free testosterone (ENSC) - send out lab. DO NOT ORDER "TESTOSTERONE FREE PANEL"
  • Total testosterone - can be ENSC or in house
  • CBC w/o differential (he doesn't want the extra info)

If not stable, recheck the above^ in 3-4 weeks

  • PSA if clinically indicated

Treatment:

  • Because there are send out labs above, patients need follow up 2-3 weeks after labs are done. Please emphasize this to patients, otherwise they will come to clinic with not all labs back and have to be rescheduled.
  • Dr. Jenkins does not refill TRT if there is not a lab check within the last 6 months. If there are no labs back, he will give 1 month refill for patient to have labs done and follow up.
  • For testosterone cypionate, he likes twice weekly injections. He may be moving away from this to weekly subq. NEVER EVER EVERY TWO WEEKS.
  • Xyosted, he starts with 75mg/weekly doses
