Patients simply apply a thin layer to the shoulders and upper arms once a day. Leave to dry for 3–5 minutes before dressing. Wash hands with soap and water after application.1,2

Testogel® is flammable until dry.

Testogel® 40.5 mg, transdermal gel in sachet should not be applied to the abdomen or genitals.2

No application site rotation or dose applicator is required

Two hour

Allow 1-2 hours before washing

The recommended period between application and washing is 2 hours for the pump and 1 hour for sachets.1,2

Testosterone can be transferred by skin-to-skin contact and result in adverse events. In order to minimise this risk certain precautions can be taken.
