What is Testogel 16.2mg/g?
Testogel 16.2 mg/g (also known as Androgel 16.2 mg/g in Nigeria) is a clear, colorless transdermal gel used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in adult men. It is formulated to treat symptoms of male hypogonadism caused by a confirmed deficiency of testosterone in the body.
The 16.2 mg/g concentration is a more concentrated formula than older versions, allowing for a smaller volume of gel to be applied while delivering the required dose effectively through the skin.
How to Use Testogel/Androgel 16.2mg/g
Testogel should be applied once daily at approximately the same time, preferably in the morning.
- Prepare the skin: Ensure the skin on your shoulders or upper arms is clean, dry, and healthy.
- Apply the gel: Use the metered-dose pump to dispense the prescribed amount. Spread a thin layer over the skin. Do not rub it in.
- Let it dry: Allow the gel to dry for at least 3-5 minutes before dressing.
- Wash hands: Immediately wash your hands with soap and water after application to prevent transferring the medication to others.
- Wait to shower: Avoid showering, swimming, or bathing for at least 2 hours (ideally 6 hours) after application.
Key Benefits
- Consistent Delivery: Provides a steady release of testosterone into the bloodstream over 24 hours.
- Convenient Application: Easy-to-use pump bottle for accurate dosing.
- Improved Symptoms: Helps address low libido, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass associated with low testosterone.
Side Effects and Precautions
Common side effects may include skin irritation at the application site, acne, or changes in mood. It is important to prevent "secondary transfer" of the gel to women or children through skin-to-skin contact. Always cover the application area with clothing once the gel is dry.
Consult with a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor if you have a history of prostate or breast cancer, as testosterone therapy is generally not recommended in these cases.
