Testogel is a medicine that contains testosterone, which is a male hormone naturally produced in the body. Testogel is used in adult men for testosterone replacement. The medicine can be used to treat a range of health problems caused by low testosterone.
What is a Testogel pump?
A Testogel pump is a canister that contains the gel. There is a pumping mechanism that delivers a certain dose of the gel with ease. Your doctor or pharmacist will advise how many pumps of gel you should apply each day.
What are Testogel sachets?
Testogel sachets are individual sachets that contain the gel. When you open a sachet, the entire contents must be taken out of the sachet. You should apply the gel immediately onto the skin and allow it to dry for at least 3 to 5 minutes before dressing. Make sure you wash your hands with soap and water once you have applied the gel.
How does Testogel work?
Testogel works by allowing natural testosterone levels to return to normal. Once you use the gel, this can relieve the symptoms of low testosterone. Testogel is used for home replacement for men that are unable to produce enough testosterone on their own. The active ingredient in Testogel is testosterone.
What causes low testosterone and how does Testogel treat it?
Testosterone is a vital hormone in men. It is responsible for the typical male characteristics, including public, facial, and body hair. It is also responsible for many other functions in the body of both men and women, and can affect mood, behaviour, and even muscles and bones. Low testosterone can cause:
- poor erections
- a drop in sex drive
- low sperm count
Several factors can cause low testosterone, such as:
- testicular infection or injury
- chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer
- some medications, like painkillers or corticosteroids
- chronic diseases, like kidney and liver disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes
- genetic conditions (Kallmann syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome)
Testogel is a testosterone replacement therapy that allows natural testosterone levels to return to normal.
Testogel dosage
The recommended dose when using the sachets is 5g of Testogel which should be applied once each day at roughly the same time. It is advised to use the gel in the morning. The daily dose may be altered by your doctor or pharmacist. However, it should never exceed 10g of Testogel each day.
How long does it take for Testogel to work?
It will differ from person to person in terms of how long Testogel takes to improve testosterone levels. You will only see a change in testosterone levels whilst you are taking the gel – it does not cure the low levels permanently. So you should keep using it only stop after discussion with your doctor or pharmacist.
How effective is Testogel?
It is impossible to predict how effective Testogel is. This is because each man is different. However, many men find improvements in their energy levels, quality of erections, and sex drive when using testosterone treatment therapy. When compared to other testosterone replacement therapy like skin patches and injections, you may find it more convenient to use Testogel.
How to use Testogel
It is recommended that you apply 1 sachet of Testogel every day. Make sure that you spread a thin layer of the gel onto dry, clean, healthy skin.
Where to apply Testogel
You can apply Testogel on your arms, shoulders, or stomach. You must not apply Testogel to the genital areas (penis and testes). This is because the high alcohol content in the gel could cause local irritation. If you are not sure where to apply Testogel, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
How often should I use Testogel?
You should use Testogel once each day. Try and use the gel at the same time each day so you do not forget. It may be useful to set an alarm to remind you.
How long do I use Testogel for?
You should use Testogel every day, for as long as your doctor recommends. If you do not feel any benefit from the gel after several months, your dose may need to be altered. Only your doctor or pharmacist can advise you on what dose to take, so never use more Testogel than advised.
How long should I leave Testogel on before showering?
It is advised that you leave 6 hours before applying Testogel before showering, swimming, or bathing. If you shower in the morning, you should apply the gel after doing this. Make sure your skin has cooled down and dry before applying the gel.
