Why Testogel®?

Overview

Testogel® is indicated in adults as testosterone therapy (TTh) for male hypogonadism when testosterone deficiency (TD) has been confirmed by clinical features and biochemical tests.1,2

The recommended daily dose is two pump actuations, or one sachet. The pump enables the prescriber to easily adjust the dose if required.*1

Normal testosterone levels** were achieved at day 182 in 82.2% (139/169) of testosterone deficient men treated with an optimised dose vs. 28.6% of men receiving placebo in a randomised placebo-controlled trial involving 274 patients.1,3

Well tolerated: 1–10% incidence of skin reactions.1,2

Please refer to the safety information for further details regarding undesirable side effects.

Testogel® 40.5 mg, transdermal gel in sachet contains the same effective 16.2 mg/g gel found in the Testogel® pump, making both products interchangeable.

This gives patients the flexibility to easily switch between either product.

Comprehensive online support for patients that aims to instil confident, regular use of treatment. The Patient Support Programme includes our patient website, T Track app, informative videos and a patient leaflet.

*Testosterone levels should be monitored at baseline and at regular intervals during treatment. Clinicians should adjust the dosage depending on the clinical or laboratory response in individual patients. **In this study, a normal range was defined as a serum total testosterone average concentration of 300–1000ng/dL (10.4–34.7 nmol/L).2
