Brief clinical commentary arguing that testosterone therapy should be guided by patient symptoms and clinical response rather than strict laboratory testosterone levels. Uses an analogy to treating blood pressure with lisinopril — clinicians reassess clinical outcome (blood pressure) not drug level; similarly, appropriate testosterone dose is the one that resolves symptoms.

The indication for testosterone in men in the first place. What is the optimal range? We don't really know based on lab. We know based on how you're feeling. For example, if you have high blood pressure and we put you on lisinopril, we don't measure a lisinopril level. We remeasure your blood pressure. If it's normal, then you're normal. So that's kind of changed our thinking about how we treat men with low testosterone. If you have symptoms of low testosterone, regardless of the level, and you take testosterone replacement and you feel more normal and those symptoms are gone, that's the proper level, that's proper dosage.
