Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Testim Work?

Testim delivers testosterone through the skin, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, testosterone works to restore normal levels of the hormone in men with low testosterone, improving the symptoms associated with hypogonadism such as low sex drive, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass.



Common Dosages

  • Testim is available as a topical gel in 1% strength, packaged in individual tubes containing 50 mg of testosterone. One tube is typically applied daily.

Typical Dosing

  • For hypogonadism: The usual dose is one 50 mg tube applied once daily in the morning to clean, dry skin on the shoulders or upper arms. The dose may be adjusted based on testosterone levels and patient response.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Primary and secondary hypogonadism (low testosterone) in men who have been diagnosed with low testosterone levels confirmed by blood tests.


Who Shouldn't Take Testim?

  • Breast cancer or prostate cancer
  • Known hypersensitivity to testosterone or any of the ingredients in Testim
  • Women, especially those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, due to potential harm to the fetus or nursing baby

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Apply Testim to clean, dry skin on the shoulders or upper arms. Do not apply it to the genital area or other parts of the body.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after applying the gel to avoid unintentional transfer of testosterone to others.
  • Avoid skin-to-skin contact with others, especially women and children, until the gel has dried completely and clothing has been worn to cover the application site.
  • Do not shower or swim for at least 2 hours after application, as this may reduce the effectiveness of the gel.
  • Regular blood tests will be needed to monitor testosterone levels and adjust the dose as necessary.

Side Effects of Testim

Risks and Warnings of Testim

  • Prostate Health: Testosterone therapy may increase the risk of prostate cancer or worsen existing prostate conditions. Regular monitoring of prostate health, including PSA levels, is essential.
