There is suggestive evidence that injection oftestosterone into some strains of female mice increases their susceptibility to hepatoma. Regularmonitoring of serum calcium concentrations is recommended in these patients. Gynecomastia may develop and persist in patients being treated withandrogens, including ANDRODERM, for hypogonadism. Edema, with or without congestive heart failure, may be a seriouscomplication in patients with preexisting cardiac, renal, or hepatic disease seeADVERSE REACTIONS.
Showering 3 hours after application of ANDRODERM increased Cavg by 0.5% and decreased Cmax by 0.4% respectively, as compared to not showering. Upon removal of the ANDRODERM systems, serum testosterone concentrations decrease with an apparent half-life of approximately 70 minutes. Inactivation of testosterone occurs primarily in the liver.
Medicines that contain testosterone (also known as testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT) work by adding more testosterone to a person’s body to help them achieve normal levels. Topical testosterone is commonly used to treat low testosterone levels in men caused by certain conditions, such as hypogonadism. Serious side effects may include blood clots, liver damage, and an increased risk of prostate cancer.
Skin burns have been reported at the patch site in several patients wearing aluminised transdermal patches during a magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI). If the patch falls off later in the day do not replace it until the night time application (choose a new skin site). Every day, remove the old patch and apply the new patch to a new area of skin. This means that when the patch is applied to the skin, the testosterone passes from the patch, through the skin and into the bloodstream. You can apply this patch on your skin once daily, at the same time each day as directed.
People who can breastfeed are not usually prescribed topical testosterone. If you are pregnant or may become pregnant, you should avoid contact with the area where topical testosterone has been applied. People who can become pregnant are not usually prescribed topical testosterone. This will help them know if topical testosterone is right for you.
Visit your care team for regular checks on your progress. Some items may interact with your medicine. Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs. Do not use double or extra doses. If the patch becomes loose, simply smooth it down again around the edges. Do not share this medicine with others. Be sure to read this information carefully each time.
It is appropriate to re-evaluatethe hematocrit 3 to 6 months after starting testosterone treatment, and thenmonitor annually. Check hematocritprior to initiating testosterone treatment. Increases in hematocrit, reflective of increases in red blood cell mass, may require lowering or discontinuation of testosterone. Each system contains 19.5 mgtestosterone USP for delivery of 4 mg of testosterone per day seeDESCRIPTION.
