Target therapeutic levels for women are mid to high-end of normal levels (or above normal if needed) on salivary or blood spot testing. Again, clinical response trumps testosterone levels, so for women we are looking for good clinical benefits, ideally without acne, hair growth, or aggressiveness. Therefore the main reason for testing post-implantation levels in women is to detect lower than optimal levels if symptoms of deficiency still exist. Many women with high levels on repeat testing show none or only minor symptoms of acne or facial hair growth and usually no change in dosing is required, unless doctor and patient both agree that it is appropriate.
