Testosterone Gel Application Instructions

Tips

  • Apply the gel in the morning to mirror your body’s natural testosterone rhythm.
  • If you miss a dose, skip it and apply the next one at the usual time — do not double up.
  • Cover the application area with clothing after the gel has dried to prevent transfer to others.

Instructions

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the gel.

  2. Ensure the skin at the application site is clean, dry, and free from cuts, grazes, or irritation.

  3. Apply the prescribed amount of gel to the upper arms, shoulders, or abdomen. Spread it in a thin, even layer over the skin.

  4. Avoid applying the gel to the genitals, chest, or any area of broken or irritated skin.

  5. Allow the gel to air-dry for a few minutes before dressing. Do not rub the area or cover it with a bandage.

  6. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application to avoid transferring testosterone to other people or surfaces.

  7. Avoid showering, swimming, or bathing for 2–6 hours after application to allow the gel to absorb fully.

  8. Cover the application area with clothing once the gel has dried. This reduces the risk of skin-to-skin transfer to partners, children, or pets.

  9. Monitor the application site for any signs of irritation, redness, or allergic reaction. If you notice persistent skin reactions, contact your clinician.
