Posology and method of administration
Cutaneous use.
Adult and Elderly men
The recommended dose is 5 g of gel (i.e. 50 mg of testosterone)
applied once daily at about the
same time, preferably in the morning. The daily dose should be
adjusted by the doctor depending on
the clinical or laboratory response in individual patients, not
exceeding 10 g of gel per day. The
adjustment of posology should be achieved by 2.5 g of gel steps.
The application should be administered by the patient himself, onto
clean, dry, healthy skin over
both shoulders, and both arms and abdomen.
After opening the sachets, the total contents must
be extracted
from the sachet and applied
immediately onto the skin. The gel has just to be simply spread on the
skin gently as a thin layer. It is
not necessary to rub it on the skin. Allow drying for at least 3-5
minutes before dressing. Wash hands
with soap and water after application.
Do not apply to the genital areas as the high alcohol content may
cause local irritation.

approximately on the 2
nd
