Use drugs.com to check for medication interactions - it's free, peer reviewed and sourced from professional pharmacy resources. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has a moderate interaction so you should probably avoid taking vitamins or beverages with high vitamin C content. Also, when it comes to interactions? ASK THE PHARMACIST, not just the doc. Honestly they're more likely to know (but do still mention to the doc because they will probably just ask the pharmacist later themselves and that way the issue will be in your record for some sharp-eyed person later.)

i know vitamin c basically neutralizes adhd meds but lemonade good

1am, doctor phoned me and said we need hydromorphone stat, so now I have to drive 150km round trip in the middle of the night to go dispense and deliver opioids 🤪🔫

hi, i study pharmaceutical sciences. aka how medicines work and why they're made the way they are.

OP is specifically talking about topical testosterone meant for systemic delivery (ie, AndroGel, Fortesta, TestoGel etc.) whatever this person's partner was prescribed is a different formulation (aka the form it comes in, additives and all) to the one that OP was talking about, yeah, more likely a cream or ointment formulation that probably doesn't contain the amount of alcohol that AndroGel etc would. i doubt OP meant to say that there's no way to localise the effects of hormones. obviously that can be done given the existence of many topical creams used to treat things like acne.

the reason OP (and actual medicine instructions) state to not put it on your dick, is because that specific formulation is not designed for localised delivery. the high alcohol content in the gel would damage and dry out the very delicate skin on your tdick.

the alcohol is used to establish the viscosity of the gel and to help dissolve the actual testosterone (and other additives that help with the medicine's function), which allows it to diffuse through your skin membranes and enter your bloodstream, achieving systemic delivery. this then causes all the downstream effects of having testosterone in your system (bottom growth, voice lowering, etc.)

creams and ointments are used for local delivery as they're not designed to try and get the drug into your bloodstream, they're meant to concentrate in a specific area and do whatever it is they're meant to do there. that's how acne creams and ointments work, that's how topical corticosteroids for treating rashes work. the whole point of a cream or ointment is to avoid systemic delivery.

just because two medicines have the same active ingredient, doesn't mean that they're the same medication at all. they aren't always able to be substituted for each other, and they can be used for different things.

I saw a post a little while ago that I'll never find again, but it's still bugging me. It was written like a PSA about proper procedure for applying testosterone gel--mainly, how you're not supposed to let it get on anyone else's skin.

And that's correct. But the post went hard on it, like "please, please be aware of the risks of this medication, it can do so much damage to others if you're not careful, I just think we should be honest about the advantages and disadvantages of medications like this."

It could've been sincere, but it gave me concern-trolling vibes real bad and I can't get it out of my head. So here's my PSA:

Don't slap on your T-gel and then immediately rub your bare bicep on anyone.

Once 2 hours have passed, the remaining amount available to be absorbed is negligible. The med guide says to wash your bicep before you rub it on anyone, but even that's being extremely cautious.

Testosterone isn't poison. If you apply a full dose every day, it still takes months before anything noticeable happens. It's not going to kill someone who accidentally touches your skin for .5 milliseconds.

You do not have to handle T-gel like it's drain cleaner. It's not corrosive. Cis women have testosterone. It's a thing that humans have in our bodies. Avoid getting your medication onto anyone else, but holy shit nothing bad is gonna happen if you forget one time and snuggle shirtless.

T-gel is alcohol-based, so it's best to refrain from being on fire until it has dried thoroughly.

Don't put it on your dick. If you've ever accidentally or on purpose gotten IcyHot on your dick, you have an intuitive understanding of how the skin there differs from bicep skin. Also, the effects of testosterone gel don't localize like that and your dick is fine, I promise.

Don't eat it. I don't know why you'd want to, but don't.

Don't leave the bottle out around little kids on account of little kids being the way that they are, i.e., enthusiastic about potions.
