Androgel Patient, Information, Instructions - Testosterone Gel

PATIENT INFORMATION

Advise patients to carefully read the information brochure that accompanies each carton of 30 AndroGel® single-use packets or 88 g AndroGel® Pump.

• AndroGel® should not be applied to the scrotum.

• AndroGel® should be applied once daily to clean dry skin.

• After application of AndroGel®, it is currently unknown for how long showering or swimming should be delayed. For optimal absorption of testosterone, it appears reasonable to wait at least 5-6 hours after application prior to showering or swimming. Nevertheless, showering or swimming after just 1 hour should have a minimal effect on the amount of AndroGel® absorbed if done very infrequently.

• Since alcohol based gels are flammable, avoid fire, flame or smoking until the gel has dried.
