Indication
Testim 1% (testosterone gel) is a prescription medicine that contains testosterone. Testim is used to treat adult males who have low or no testosterone.
Important Safety Information
What is the most important information I should know about Testim? Signs of puberty that are not expected (for example, pubic hair) have happened in young children who were accidentally exposed to testosterone through contact with men using Testim.
Testim can transfer from your body to others. This can happen if other people come into contact with the area where the Testim was applied to your skin.
- Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed area where Testim has been applied
- To lower the risk of transfer of Testim from your body to others, you should: wash your hands right away with soap and water after applying Testim and cover the application area with clothing after the gel has dried. If you expect to have skin-to-skin contact with another person, first wash the application area well with soap and water
Stop using Testim and call your doctor right away if you see any signs and symptoms of puberty in a child, or changes in body hair or increased acne in a woman, that may have occurred through accidental exposure to Testim.
Do not use Testim if you: have breast cancer; have or might have prostate cancer; are allergic to testosterone or any of the ingredients in Testim, including soy.
Testim is not meant for use in women. If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast-feeding, Testim may harm your unborn or breast-feeding baby. Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should avoid contact with the area where Testim has been applied.
Other serious side effects include the following:
- If you already have enlargement of your prostate gland, your signs and symptoms can get worse while using Testim
- Possible increased risk of prostate cancer
- In large doses, Testim may lower your sperm count
- Swelling of your ankles, feet, or body, with or without heart failure. This may cause serious problems for people who have heart, kidney, or liver disease
- Enlarged or painful breasts
- Having problems breathing while you sleep (sleep apnea)
- Blood clots in the legs. This can include pain, swelling, or redness of your legs
The most common side effects of Testim include: skin irritation where Testim is applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, and increased blood pressure.
