Hello
Thanks for query.

You have not mentioned about Serum Testosterone levels of your husband .

Normally Andriol Testoscaps are prescribed when one is detected to have Low testosterone levels in blood .

Andriol taken in small doses stimulates spermatogenesis and increases sperm count .

It will reduce indigenous testosterone if taken for a long period of time and may cause testicular atrophy.

Please check his testosterone levels in blood to ensure he has low testosterone before you start taking Andiol TestoCap.
