Testogel Sachets – Testosterone Replacement Therapy

What are Testogel sachets?

Testosterone Gel

• Testogel contains the active ingredient testosterone, the hormone that is most common in men
• Testogel is a gel that is applied to the skin. It is then absorbed into the body
• Testogel is prescribed for men who do not produce enough testosterone, or who have low testosterone levels
• A healthy level of testosterone facilitates sperm production, maintains a normal sex drive, helps men achieve an erection and supports muscle and bone health
• As testosterone levels fall as men get older, testosterone replacement is sometimes prescribed for older men as a form of hormone replacement therapy to improve the low level of the hormone
• Testogel may also be prescribed for men who produce low testosterone for other reasons
• Testosterone gel should not be taken by mouth. It should also not be injected. It should only be applied to the skin.
• It is important to read the patient leaflet for a complete list of side effects and cautions.

How Does Testogel Work?

Testogel contains the active ingredient testosterone. The gel is applied to the skin on the shoulders, upper arms, or abdomen (Shoskes et al, 2016). The testosterone then reaches the bloodstream, raising the overall low levels of testosterone in the body.

The testosterone in Testogel mimics the natural testosterone that is produced in the body (Khodamoradi et al, 2021). Testogel can potentially help with sperm production, supporting a healthy sex drive, erections and supporting bone growth, muscle growth and blood cell growth.
