Description

Testosterone Gel 1.62% is a topical medication used in hormone replacement therapy to treat male hypogonadism, a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. This gel delivers 20.25 mg of testosterone per pump actuation, which helps restore normal testosterone levels in men. Testosterone is essential for various physiological functions, including the development of male sexual characteristics, muscle mass, bone density, and red blood cell production.

The gel is applied to clean, dry skin, typically on the upper arms, shoulders, or abdomen, allowing the testosterone to be absorbed through the skin. It is designed for daily use, with one application providing the required dose. Absorption rates are optimal when the gel is applied to areas where it can be absorbed efficiently, avoiding areas with excessive body hair or broken skin.

Testosterone Gel 1.62% can help improve symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, low libido, and depression, while also promoting muscle strength and bone health. It should be used with caution, as improper use or exposure to others can lead to unintended side effects. Regular monitoring of testosterone levels, liver function, and overall health is important during treatment.
