Testim Gel – Testosterone 50mg Gel, 30 Sachets

Testim gel is a topical gel derived from testosterone, an important male hormone. Testim Gel works by supplying the body with a sufficient amount of testosterone, which helps to maintain normal levels of sexual desire and performance in men. It also helps to increase muscle mass, energy levels and strength. Testim Gel comes in 30 sachets containing 50mg per sachet.

Testim Gel is used to replace testosterone in men who do not produce sufficient natural testosterone, a condition known as hypogonadism. Testosterone is made naturally in your body in your testicles. It helps produce sperm and to develop and maintain the male sexual characteristics such as a deep voice and body hair. It is also necessary for normal sexual function and sex drive. Testosterone also helps to maintain muscle size and strength.

Testim is used in adult men for testosterone replacement to treat various health problems caused by a lack of testosterone (male hypogonadism). This should be confirmed by two separate blood testosterone measurements and also include clinical symptoms such as:

  • impotence
  • infertility
  • low sex drive
  • tiredness
  • depressive moods
  • bone loss caused by low hormone levels

Other medicines may be needed as well as Testim if you are being treated for infertility.

Testosterone gel can be used as hrt for women.

How To Use

How to use Testim Gel

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor if you are not sure.

Testim Gel is intended for transdermal use, which means application on the skin (shoulders and/or upper arms).

Before you start to use Testim Gel, your doctor will check that you have low testosterone levels in your blood. Always use Testim Gel exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor if you are not sure. Each 5g tube contains 50mg of testosterone. The usual starting dose of Testim Gel is one tube of gel (5g) each day. Some patients may require a higher dose and your doctor may prescribe two tubes of gel every day. The correct dose of Testim Gel that you need will be decided by regularly measuring the levels of testosterone that are in your blood, as well as by assessing the clinical response to Testim Gel treatment. If you have the impression that the effect of Testim Gel is too strong or too weak, you should talk to your doctor. Signs of irritability, nervousness, weight gain and prolonged or frequent erections may be suggestive of excessive use.

It is important that you read and follow these directions on how to use Testim Gel properly. Apply Testim Gel only to healthy, normal skin. Never apply Testim Gel to your genitals (penis and testes) or to skin that is broken or damaged and avoid contact with open sores, wounds or irritations.

1. Apply Testim Gel at the same time each day (preferably every morning).

2. Apply the contents of one (1) or two (2) tube(s) of gel on the shoulders and/or upper arms, every morning as instructed by your doctor. If you take a bath or shower in the morning, use Testim Gel after your bath or shower.

3. Make sure that your shoulders and/or upper arms are clean and completely dry before putting on the gel.

4. Open the Testim Gel aluminium tube by piercing the end of the tube with the top part of the cap.

5. Squeeze the entire contents of the tube into the palm of your hand. Squeeze the gel out from the bottom of the tube towards the top.

6. Apply Testim Gel only to your shoulders and/or upper arms as a thin layer. In this way your body will absorb the right amount of testosterone.

7. Use a circular motion to rub the gel in to your skin for several seconds. Do this until no gel is left on the skin area. This process should be repeated with a second tube of Testim Gel by patients who have been prescribed a daily dose of testosterone 100mg. It is suggested that patients who require two tubes of gel each day use both shoulders (one tube per shoulder) and/or upper arms as application sites.

8. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water immediately after application. This will also reduce the chance that the medicine will spread from your hands to other people.

9. Let Testim Gel dry for a few minutes before you dress. This prevents your clothing from wiping the gel off your skin and ensures that your body will absorb the correct amount of testosterone.

10. If you wash the application site within 6 hours after applying Testim Gel you may lower the amount of testosterone that is absorbed by your body. Therefore, wait at least 6 hours after applying the gel before showering or swimming to ensure that the greatest amount of Testim Gel is absorbed into your body.

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor if you are not sure.

How to prevent transfer of Testim Gel to someone else

It is important that you do not spread the medicine to others, especially women and children. If you do not take appropriate precautions, you can transfer testosterone gel to other persons by close skin-to-skin contact.

This may result in increased testosterone serum levels in the other person. If the contact is repeated or prolonged, this may cause unwanted side effects such as the growth of facial and/or body hair, acne, deepening of the voice or changes in the menstrual cycles of women. Similarly, children have naturally low concentrations of testosterone and could be harmed by higher levels.

To stop the gel being transferred from your skin to someone else, the following precautions are recommended:

  • wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying the gel
  • cover the application site with clothing once the gel has dried
  • have a bath or shower, or wear clothing to cover the gel application site (e.g. a T-shirt), before having close skin-to-skin contact with anyone
  • leave a long period of time between putting on the gel and having sex or making close skin to skin contact with anyone.

What to do if someone else is exposed to Testim Gel

If someone else is exposed to Testim Gel either as a result of contact with the gel itself or because of contact with the application area on your skin, the person should wash their area of skin contact with soap and water as soon as possible. The longer that the gel is in contact with the skin before washing, the greater the chance that the person will absorb some testosterone. This is particularly important for women, especially pregnant or breast-feeding women, and children.

If they develop signs such as acne or changes in the growth or pattern of hair on their face or body, they should see their doctor.

If you use more Testim Gel than you should

If you have applied too much Testim Gel by mistake, wash the application area with soap and water as soon as you realise. For further information about any possible side effects, please refer to section 4 (Possible side effects).

If you forget to use Testim Gel

If you miss a dose, do not double your dose the next day to catch up. If your next dose is less than 12 hours away, do not take the missed dose but continue with your next dose as normal. If it is more than 12 hours until your next dose, take the dose that you have missed. Continue as normal the following day.

If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor.

  • if you have high calcium levels in your blood or urine caused by bone cancer you may be advised by your doctor to undergo regular blood tests
  • if you have high blood pressure or if you are treated for high blood pressure, as testosterone may cause a rise in blood pressure.
  • if you suffer from ischaemic heart disease (a condition that affects the supply of blood to the heart)
  • if you have epilepsy
  • if you suffer from migraines
  • if you have breathing difficulties during sleep; these are more likely to occur if you are overweight or have chronic lung disease.
  • if you have or have ever had blood clotting problems; thrombophilia (an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis – blood clots in blood vessels)
  • factors that increase your risk for blood clots in a vein: previous blood clots in a vein; smoking; obesity; cancer; immobility; if one of your immediate family has had a blood clot in the leg, lung or other organ at a young age (e.g. below the age of about 50); or as you get older.
  • How to recognise a blood clot: painful swelling of one leg or sudden change in colour of the skin e.g. turning pale, red or blue, sudden breathlessness, sudden unexplained cough which may bring up blood; or sudden chest pain, severe light headedness or dizziness, severe pain in your stomach, sudden loss of vision. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience one of these symptoms.

 

These conditions may be aggravated when using Testim Gel. If you have any of the above conditions go back to your doctor to seek advice.

If you develop serious reactions on your skin where you applied the Testim Gel, go back to your doctor to seek advice.

If you have close skin-to-skin contact, testosterone may be transferred to someone else. For further information, please refer to section 3 (How to use).

The following blood checks should be carried out by your doctor before and during the treatment: testosterone blood level, full blood count. Testosterone treatment may accelerate the progression of pre-existing prostate cancer. Your doctor will perform the necessary tests before starting treatment and then check by carrying out periodic blood tests and prostate examinations.

If you are an athlete, be aware that this product may produce a positive reaction in anti-doping tests.

Testosterone must not be used to increase muscles or improve physical strength in healthy individuals.

Children

TESTIM is not indicated in children.

Other medicines and Testim Gel

Tell your doctor if you are using, have recently used or might use any other medicines.

TestimGel may affect how these medicines work and you may need to have your doses adjusted. This is particularly important if you are taking:

  • insulin to control your blood sugar levels (in diabetes): you may need to reduce your dose of insulin when using in combination with Testim Gel
  • drugs to thin your blood (anti-coagulants): Testim Gel may increase the effects of these drugs
  • corticosteroids or drugs which may increase the production of these hormones (ACTH): both corticosteroids and Testim Gel may cause your body to retain more water.

 

Other forms of interactions: laboratory test interactions. Treatment with testosterone may alter the levels of thyroid hormones in your body. The thyroid function is not affected by these minor changes in levels of thyroid hormones. The thyroid is a gland located in the neck and is involved in the regulation of the body’s metabolism and growth.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Testim Gel is not intended for use by women.

Pregnant women should avoid skin contact with Testim Gel application sites in men as testosterone can cause the appearance of male secondary sex characteristics in the female foetus.

Breast-feeding women should also avoid any contact with Testim Gel application sites in men.

If your partner is or becomes pregnant, you must follow the advice under the heading ‘How to prevent transfer of Testim Gel to someone else’ on the other side of this leaflet

    Better than Testogel in terms of energy in the body, libido, and has a smooth peak. Even though helpful to have separate packets to use when one is not home, would also appreciate it coming in a canister for better titration.
