Men’s Health/ Testosterone

Did you know?

Millions of men experience health challenges that compromise their quality of life daily. You can instead focus on preventing conditions like hormone imbalance, low energy, low libido, fertility concerns, and sexual dysfunction.

Hypogonadism (or “low-T”) affects approximately 40% of men aged 45 or older, although less than 5% of these men are diagnosed and treated for the condition.

How do I take testosterone?

Testosterone should be applied at the same time every day, usually in the morning. To avoid side effects, do not apply right before bedtime.

• Apply the topical formulation to clean, dry skin on the upper arm and shoulder area, or the insides of your lower arms.
• Never apply to open sores, wounds, genitals, or irritated skins
• Apply the prescribed amount of medication to the skin and rub in a circular motion until it is absorbed, and the area feels dry. If applying to the lower arms, rub arms together in a circular motion.
• Wash hands with soap and water immediately after application to avoid spreading to other people.
• Let the area dry before dressing to prevent your clothes from wiping off the medication.
• Allow at least 4 hours for your medication to fully dry before touching another person with the area.
