What is AndroGel?

 

AndroGel® or TestoGel® provides testosterone replacement therapy to men whose bodies do not make enough testosterone. AndroGel® is the first testosterone gel approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for replacement therapy in men for conditions associated with absent or low testosterone.

 

It is estimated that 4-5 million men have a medical condition called hypogonadism, or low testosterone. AndroGel® can help restore normal testosterone levels with an easy, effective and inconspicuous gel that men rub daily onto the shoulders, upper arms and/or abdomen. When AndroGel® is applied, its alcohol base dissolves, leaving a clear, non-oily testosterone film that is absorbed into the skin and does not stain clothing. From the skin, the testosterone is slowly released into the bloodstream to help men achieve normal testosterone levels.

 

Research has shown that AndroGel® has led to effectively restored testosterone levels in hypogonadal men with improvements in sexual interest and functioning, body mass composition, bone density (with 10 g dose), mood, and reduced fatigue.
