Pharmacology
Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. Testosterone is primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females although small amounts are secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In both males and females, it plays key roles in health and well-being. Examples include enhanced libido, energy, immune function, and protection against osteoporosis. On average, the adult male body produces about twenty times the amount of testosterone than an adult female's body does.

Patient Information
PATIENT INFORMATION
AndroGel (testosterone gel) is a clear, colorless gel medicine that delivers testosterone into your body through your skin. Once AndroGel� is absorbed through your skin, it enters your bloodstream and helps your body reach normal testosterone levels. The type of testosterone delivered by AndroGel� is the same as the testosterone produced in your body.
-AndroGel should not be applied to the scrotum.
-AndroGel should be applied once daily to clean dry skin.
-After application of AndroGel, it is currently unknown for how long showering or swimming should be delayed. For optimal absorption of testosterone, it appears reasonable to wait at least 5-6 hours after application prior to showering or swimming. Nevertheless, showering or swimming after just 1 hour should have a minimal effect on the amount of AndroGel� absorbed if done very infrequently.
-Since alcohol based gels are flammable, avoid fire, flame or smoking until the gel has dried.
