Pick My Pharmacy is an independent comparison service and not a pharmacy. Where a listing is a referral partner we may earn a commission when you visit them — this never changes prices you pay, ratings, or the order providers appear. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored" and are labelled “Ad – Affiliate”. For Prescription Only Medicines we promote the pharmacy’s clinical service, not a specific medicine, in line with the MHRA Blue Guide. See our affiliate compliance.
What the price covers
Private TRT clinics usually sell a package, not a bare tube of gel. The ongoing monthly figure typically covers the medicine (often testosterone gel such as Testogel or similar), clinician follow-up, and scheduled blood monitoring. Initial assessment fees and confirmatory morning blood tests are often charged separately or bundled into a higher year-one total. When comparing providers, ask what is included: consultation, venous bloods, PSA and haematocrit monitoring, delivery, and how dose adjustments are handled.
Who can be prescribed it
Legitimate TRT is for men with clinically confirmed testosterone deficiency, not for athletic enhancement or vague tiredness alone. Clinics should take a full history, arrange blood tests (often including total and free testosterone, SHBG, LH/FSH, PSA, haematocrit and lipids), and only prescribe after diagnosis. Suitability is not guaranteed. Accidental transfer of gel to partners or children via skin contact is a known risk — services should counsel on application and hygiene.
NHS vs private
NHS TRT exists where criteria are met, usually via endocrinology or specialist pathways, and medicine then costs at most the standard prescription charge. Access can be slow and protocols may differ from private clinics. Private care is mainly about faster assessment and more intensive monitoring — not a loophole around diagnosis. Ask your GP about NHS routes before committing to a long private package.
Safety and red flags
Side effects and monitoring issues can include acne, raised haematocrit, fertility impact, and mood changes — which is why blood monitoring matters. Any seller offering testosterone with no blood tests, no named UK clinician, or prices far below clinic norms is a red flag. This page compares treatment-service prices only — it is not medical advice. Speak to a GP or regulated clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy testosterone gel online without blood tests?▼
Not from a legitimate UK service. Diagnosis and monitoring require blood tests and a clinician assessment. Sites selling testosterone with no questions asked are unsafe and illegal.
Is TRT available on the NHS?▼
Yes, where clinical criteria are met after proper assessment. Ask your GP about referral. Private clinics are an alternative access route, not a replacement for diagnosis.
Gel or injections — which is cheaper?▼
It depends on the clinic package. Compare the full service cost including bloods and follow-up, not the medicine line alone. Which form suits you is a clinical decision.
