How it works:
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics, libido, muscle mass, bone density, and overall vitality. When applied to the skin, the gel is absorbed transdermally and releases testosterone gradually into the bloodstream, maintaining stable serum levels. The transdermal form helps avoid significant hormonal fluctuations seen with injectable formulations.
Who it is recommended for:
Clinical studies and evidence:
Transdermal testosterone preparations have been extensively evaluated in international clinical trials. Studies demonstrate that daily application of 1% testosterone gel restores physiological serum testosterone levels in most patients within days. Clinical evidence confirms improvements in sexual function, mood, bone mineral density, and body composition. Testosterone therapy is included in endocrine and urology clinical practice guidelines for male hypogonadism treatment.
Indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in men with conditions associated with testosterone deficiency. Used in primary and secondary hypogonadism, decreased libido, hormone-related erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass, and low bone density. It works by restoring normal physiological testosterone levels.
Apply the gel once daily to clean, dry, intact skin of the shoulders, upper arms, or abdomen as directed by a physician. Allow the gel to dry completely before dressing and avoid skin-to-skin contact with others until fully absorbed. Dosage and duration are determined individually based on laboratory monitoring of testosterone levels.
