Testosterone
Gel
Shows Long-term
Benefits
| A
recent study found that testosterone gel provides better moods,
sexual functioning, muscle mass and bone density. Doctors
found long-term, continuous use of AndroGel® testosterone
gel caused rapid and sustained improvements in sexual function
and mood among men with hypogonadism, or low testosterone.

It is estimated
that 4-5 million men have a medical condition called hypogonadism,
or low testosterone. AndroGel® can help restore normal testosterone
levels with an easy, effective and inconspicuous gel that men
rub daily onto the shoulders, upper arms and/or abdomen. When
AndroGel® is applied, its alcohol base dissolves, leaving a clear,
non-oily testosterone film that is absorbed into the skin and
does not stain clothing. From the skin, the testosterone is slowly
released into the bloodstream to help men achieve normal testosterone
levels. Generic Name: Testosterone Gel (Testim) (tes-TOS-ter-one)
Brand Name: Testim and AndroGel.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Nausea, vomiting, headache, hair loss, change in sexual drive,
or redness/swelling/change in color of the skin, or acne may occur.
If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects
occur: swelling (edema), trouble breathing (including very slow
or shallow breathing and trouble breathing while sleeping), trouble
urinating, mental/mood changes (e.g., depression). Tell your doctor
immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects
occur: dizziness, breast pain or enlargement, weight gain, change
in size or shape of the testicles. Tell your doctor immediately
if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects
occur: low blood sugar (symptoms such as shakiness, nervousness,
rapid pulse, sweating). If you experience a painful or prolonged
erection (lasting longer than 4 hours), stop using testosterone
and seek immediate medical attention. Permanent impotence could
result if the condition is not treated promptly. Tell your doctor
if your female partner develops any changes in hair location,
an increase in acne, or other signs of masculinity. If you notice
other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
