There really are no truly effective pill forms of testosterone. It is broken down too quickly by the liver when taken orally. There is a product called testosterone undecanoate which can be taken by pill, but it is considered to be an inefficient method of administration. There are chemical modifications which have been done to make oral steroid drugs, but they are not the same as normal testosterone and can have much more severe side effects like liver problems. Testosterone is normally prescribed in topical gel or cream form these days, and otherwise by injection. All forms can be prescribed and must be in order to be legal in the U.S. at least. Testosterone and its derivatives are Schedule III drugs and therefore restricted in the same ways as codeine etc.
