Overview
•This is a prescription testosterone medicine, not a general wellness supplement; it should be used only for confirmed testosterone deficiency with clinician monitoring of testosterone levels, hematocrit, PSA/prostate status, lipids, and cardiovascular risk.
•AndroGel 1% can cause androgen-related effects such as acne, oily skin, application-site irritation, mood changes, fluid retention, increased red blood cell count, and worsening sleep apnea.
•The gel can transfer testosterone to women, children, or pets through skin contact; application sites should be covered after drying and washed before anticipated skin-to-skin contact.
•Testosterone therapy may interact with warfarin/anticoagulants, insulin or diabetes medicines, and corticosteroids/ACTH, requiring closer medical monitoring.
•Not suitable for pregnancy or breastfeeding exposure; testosterone may harm fetal development, and accidental secondary exposure should be avoided.
•The high ethanol content makes the gel flammable until dry and may irritate sensitive or broken skin.
