Testavan is a clear gel containing the male hormone testosterone, naturally produced in the body. It is used as replacement therapy for men with insufficient natural testosterone production, a condition known as hypogonadism. The treatment goal is to restore testosterone levels to normal.
Indications for use:
▪ Impotence
▪ Infertility
▪ Decreased libido
▪ Fatigue
▪ Depressive mood
▪ Osteoporosis caused by low hormone levels
How to use:
The gel is for transdermal application. Apply once daily, preferably in the morning, to clean, dry, intact skin of the upper arm and shoulder using the applicator. If more than one pump is required, apply to the opposite arm and shoulder. Do not change the application site, as testosterone absorption decreases when applied to the abdomen or thigh. Allow the gel to fully dry before dressing.
Warnings and precautions:
Use with caution in patients with:
▪ Urination problems due to enlarged prostate
▪ Bone cancer
▪ High blood pressure
▪ Severe heart, liver, or kidney diseases
▪ Ischemic heart disease
▪ Thrombophilia or other blood clotting disorders
