TESTOGEL® 50 mg is a colourless and clear hydroalcoholic gel, containing 1% testosterone.
TESTOGEL® 1% provides a continuous transdermic release of testosterone for 24 hours after a single application, carried out by the patient, at approximately the same time and preferably during the morning, on skin that is unbroken, clean and dry, on the shoulders, arms and/or abdomen.
10% of the dose of testosterone applied each day to the surface of the skin is absorbed into the systemic circulation over a period of 24 hours.
Testogel® 50 mg releases physiological levels of testosterone and produces levels of testosterone in circulation approximately equivalent to those found in healthy males. As such, 5 g and 10 g of TESTOGEL® 50 mg release approximately 5 mg and 10 mg testosterone respectively.
It is indicated for use in the following treatments:
Testosterone replacement therapy for male hypogonadism when testosterone deficiency is clinically and biochemically in men from age 18.
TESTOGEL® 50 mg is supplied in a box containing 30 single-dose sachets of 5 g of gel, containing 50 mg of testosterone.
