This safety information outlines important risks and precautions associated with the use of testosterone gel. Please review these details thoroughly and consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns.

• Transfer Risk: Testosterone gel can transfer to others through skin contact with the application site, potentially causing early puberty in children and male characteristics in females. Avoid contact with unwashed or unclothed application sites.

• Blood and Clotting Risks: The gel can increase red blood cell count, potentially leading to blood clots. Regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor this risk.

• Cardiovascular Risks: Testosterone gel may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac death. Seek emergency help if you experience chest pain, cold sweats, pain in the left arm, difficulty breathing, trouble walking or speaking, or weakness on one side of the body.

• Misuse and Dependency: As a controlled substance, testosterone gel carries a risk of misuse, dependency, and addiction. Misuse can cause serious heart and mental health issues, including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, liver issues, depression, delusions, hallucinations, and aggression. This risk increases with higher doses or concurrent use with other testosterone-containing medications.

• Prostate Issues: The gel can exacerbate symptoms in individuals with an enlarged prostate. Inform your provider of any changes in urination patterns.

• Liver Concerns: While testosterone gel is not known to cause liver damage, be vigilant for symptoms such as stomach pain, pale stools, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

• Fluid Retention: The gel may cause swelling in the arms and legs due to fluid retention, particularly if you are taking corticosteroids or have heart, liver, or kidney conditions. Contact your provider if swelling occurs.

• Sleep Apnea: Testosterone gel may worsen sleep apnea, especially if you have a history of obesity or lung disease. Report increased daytime sleepiness or observed breathing interruptions during sleep.

• High Calcium Levels: The gel can cause elevated calcium levels, particularly in individuals with cancer, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, frequent urination, thirst, stomach pain, and blood in urine. Regular blood tests may be needed to monitor calcium levels.

Contraindications:

• Men with breast or prostate cancer.
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If any of these conditions apply to you, consult your healthcare provider before using testosterone gel.
