Androgel Description
What is Androgel?
Androgel is a prescription testosterone gel used to treat men with confirmed low testosterone. In Australia, the gel is usually applied once daily to clean, dry skin. Typical sites are the shoulders, upper arms or abdomen, as advised by your doctor.
How it works
Testosterone is a natural male hormone. Androgel delivers a steady amount through the skin and aims to restore normal levels in the blood. Many patients report better energy, mood and sense of well‑being, with gradual gains in muscle tone.
How to use
How to use: apply to clean, dry skin once daily. Use as directed by your clinician, usually on the shoulder or upper arm. Rub in until it is absorbed, then let it dry before dressing. Wash your hands after applying. Do not apply to genitals unless asked.
Expected benefits
Benefits take time. Some men notice improvements after several weeks, others after a few months. Tests will check testosterone levels and overall health. Expect better sleep, motivation and sexual desire in line with your doctor's plan.
Common side effects
Common side effects include skin irritation at the application site, such as redness, itching or a rash. Headache and acne can occur. Some men have higher red blood cell counts, so your doctor may monitor blood work regularly. Report any breast tenderness or new lumps.
Safety and Australian guidelines
Safety and Australian guidelines: Androgel is a Schedule 4 prescription medicine regulated by the TGA. It is for men with proven testosterone deficiency and should not be used by women or children. If you have prostate or breast cancer, do not use it and discuss risks with your doctor. Tell your clinician about heart disease, sleep apnea, diabetes or liver issues. To prevent transfer to others, cover the treated area and wash your hands after application.
Using online pharmacies in Australia
Using online pharmacies in Australia: a licensed pharmacist checks your prescription and confirms the dose. Reputable online shops provide secure packaging and privacy. Ensure the product matches your prescription and that you know how to contact a pharmacist for questions. Keep it away from children.
Patient experiences
Patient experiences: many reviews describe relief from low energy and mood swings after several weeks. Some report mild skin irritation or concerns about gel transfer to others at home. Absorption can vary with skin type and daily activities, such as sweating or shower timing.
Storage and disposal
Storage and disposal: store at room temperature away from heat and light. Do not freeze. Keep the tube closed when not in use. Dispose of unused gel through local programs to prevent accidental exposure.
When to seek medical advice
When to seek medical advice: if there is no improvement after 8–12 weeks, or side effects are troublesome, contact your clinician. Regular blood tests monitor testosterone, red blood cells and liver function, and your doctor will review PSA levels. Do not adjust the dose yourself.
Interactions and precautions
Interactions and precautions: tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including steroids, insulin, anticoagulants and other testosterone products. Some drugs can alter testosterone levels or interact with Androgel. Avoid applying other skin products on the same area unless advised, and discuss any planned surgery or procedures with your clinician.
