Testosterone (topical) is a topical medication used to treat low testosterone levels in men. It can help increase testosterone levels in men, thereby improving sexual function, bone density, and muscle mass. This medication is usually applied to the skin as a glue or gel, usually on the shoulders, abdomen, or thighs. Read the instructions carefully before use to make sure you use it according to your doctor's recommendations.
When using testosterone medication, you should avoid contact with other people's skin to avoid adverse effects on them. Also, contact with eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes should be avoided. If you have any discomfort or abnormality during use, you should seek help from your doctor immediately.
In Hong Kong, you should consult a professional doctor before using testosterone (topical) medication to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.
How to use: Apply TESTOSTERONE Ointment to dry, clean skin, usually on the shoulders, arms, or abdomen. Avoid applying to wounds, eyes or mucous membranes. Ointments are usually applied once a day, preferably in the morning. Wash your hands before use and wait until the ointment is fully absorbed before getting dressed. Avoid contact with other people, especially women and children.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adult men is 5 grams of ointment (about the size of a sausage) per day, which can be adjusted to 10 grams as needed. Dosage requirements for adult women or children are lower, with the starting dose usually being 2.5 grams per day, which can be adjusted to 5 grams as needed. Dosage adjustments should be made under the guidance of a physician, and blood tests should be performed regularly to monitor hormone levels. Do not adjust the dosage or stop using the medicine on your own, as this may affect the therapeutic effect.
There may be some side effects when using topical testosterone. Some common ones include skin sensitivity, redness, itchiness or dryness. Some people may experience dizziness, headaches, or mood swings. Long-term use may affect hormonal balance and cause the body to produce abnormal sex hormone levels. If you experience serious side effects such as chest swelling, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Before seeing a doctor, talk to the doctor to understand the risks and benefits of the drug.
TESTOSTERONE is a drug commonly used to treat low libido or male sexual dysfunction in men, but it is contraindicated in some cases. First, people who are allergic to TESTOSTERONE or are sensitive to any of its ingredients should not use this medication. Second, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid exposure to TESTOSTERONE because of possible harm to the fetus. Also, people with a history of breast or prostate cancer should avoid using TESTOSTERONE, as this may worsen the disease. In addition, people with heart disease, liver disease, or kidney disease should use TESTOSTERONE under the guidance of a physician to avoid negative health effects. Finally, adolescents and children should avoid using TESTOSTERONE as this may have negative effects on their growth and development. In short, before using TESTOSTERONE, you should carefully evaluate the contraindications and use it under the guidance of a doctor to ensure safe and effective treatment of the corresponding disease.

Topical testosterone should be avoided during pregnancy. The use of topical testosterone may cause abnormal development of the male reproductive organs in the fetus. If you suspect pregnancy or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. Your doctor may recommend stopping the use of topical testosterone to avoid possible risks to the fetus. During pregnancy, you must follow your doctor's advice and try to avoid the use of any prescription or over-the-counter medications to ensure the health of your fetus.
If pregnancy occurs unintentionally, women who are using topical testosterone should stop using the drug immediately and inform their doctor immediately. Doctors will be able to assess potential risks and provide appropriate advice and management. Good medical guidance should be maintained during pregnancy to ensure the health of mother and fetus.
