AndroGel® is the first-ever
testosterone replacement
gel to be approved by the FDA for replacement therapy
in men for conditions associated with low testosterone.
Low testosterone, also known as
hypogonadism, affects approximately four to
five million American men. The condition is linked
with diminished interest in sex, impotence, reduced
lean body mass, decreased bone density and lowered
mood and energy levels. AndroGel® will be available
with a prescription in pharmacies throughout the
United States by mid-summer 2000 by Unimed Pharmaceuticals.
The unique method of transport (rub in gel) offers
many benefits. Those traumatized by needles will
surely enjoy rubbing in testosterone to the skin,
apposed to injecting it intra-muscularly. Although
the therapeutic dose may fall short of being anabolic
enough for some.
Testosterone is the chemical
name of active ingredient in AndroGel and Androderm.
AndroGel is a registered trademark of Unimed
Pharmaceuticals. Androderm is a registered
