Answer 1

TRT has side effects but the dosage is usually 100 to 200 a week as opposed to 500 to 1000 a week. And if you are doing it because your levels were dangerously low and it brings you up to normal levels it is a lot different than taking large doses and messing up a previously healthy body.

There are also much more dangerous performance enhancing drugs than testosterone.
