Safety and efficacy of testosterone gel in the treatment of male hypogonadism
Clinical Interventions in Aging, 10/12/09
Lakshman M et al. – Testosterone gels are as efficacious as patches and injectable forms in their effects on sexual function and mood. Anticipated increases in prostate–specific antigen with testosterone therapy are not significantly different with testosterone gels, and the risk of polycythemia is ower than injectable modalities. Application site reactions, a major drawback of testosterone patches, occur less frequently with testosterone gels. However, inter–personal transfer is a concern if appropriate precautions are not taken. Superior tolerability and dose flexibility make testosterone gel highly desirable over other modalities of testosterone replacement. Androgel and Testim, the two currently available testosterone gel products in the US, have certain brandspecific properties that clinicians may consider prior to prescribing.
