Testosterone topical solution is used for replacement therapy in males with conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone. The solution delivers physiologic circulating testosterone that approximates normal concentration ranges seen in healthy men. Key clinical findings indicate the importance of proper dosing and monitoring to achieve desired serum testosterone concentrations. Important safety information includes warnings about secondary exposure to testosterone, contraindications in men with carcinoma of the breast or known/suspected carcinoma of the prostate, and potential adverse reactions. Main dosing recommendations involve starting with 60 mg of testosterone applied once daily, with adjustments based on serum testosterone concentrations. Special population considerations include use during pregnancy, nursing, pediatric use, and geriatric use, with specific guidelines and precautions for each group.
Secondary exposure to testosterone can occur, and patients should be advised to strictly adhere to recommended instructions for use.
Dose adjustments can be made based on serum testosterone concentrations, with decreases or increases in 30 mg increments.
