Can Women Use Tostran Gel?
Tostran Gel is currently prescribed only to men. Although testosterone gel can be prescribed for some women experiencing menopausal symptoms, we do not prescribe Tostran Gel to women.

Tostran Gel and Bodybuilding
While some bodybuilders use Tostran Gel to boost testosterone and increase muscle mass, we do not recommend or prescribe Tostran Gel for this purpose. It is only prescribed to individuals with low testosterone levels who are already established on testosterone replacement therapy.

Contraindications
Tostran Gel must only be used if hypogonadism (low testosterone) has been confirmed by a doctor and further tests have indicated it is safe. It has not been tested in males under 18, and there is limited research on its use in men over 65. Do not use Tostran Gel if you:

• Are allergic to testosterone
• Have or suspect you have breast or prostate cancer

In these cases, notify your doctor. A check-up is required before starting Tostran Gel and periodically during treatment (usually once or twice a year).
Additionally, do not use Tostran Gel if you have:

• Severe liver, heart, or kidney disease (can cause complications like water retention and heart failure)
• High blood pressure (treatment may raise blood pressure)
• Swollen feet and hands
• Chronic lung disease (treatment may worsen sleep apnoea)
• Diabetes (treatment may affect insulin response)
• Migraines or epilepsy (conditions may worsen with treatment)
• A raised PSA (prostate-specific antigen) or any urinary symptoms (treatment may accelerate prostate cancer or benign prostate enlargement)
• Plans to have children in the future (treatment may suppress sperm production)

Medicines That Interact with Tostran Gel
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or plan to take any of the following medications while using Tostran Gel:

• Corticosteroids
• Anticoagulants

Tostran Gel vs. Testogel
In addition to Tostran Gel, we also offer Testogel 50mg/5g sachets to help boost testosterone levels. If you're interested in testing your testosterone levels without visiting your GP, we also provide a convenient testosterone test kit. This simple pin-prick blood test can be done at home and sent to our partner lab for analysis.

Testogel vs. Tostran Gel
Both Testogel and Tostran Gel are used for testosterone replacement therapy, but they have some key differences:

• Testogel: Comes in sachets, with the recommended dose being 5g of gel (50mg of testosterone) applied once daily to the arms, shoulders, or stomach.
• Tostran Gel: Comes in a pump, with the recommended dose being 3g of gel (60mg of testosterone) applied once daily to the abdomen or inner thighs.

Both gels have side effects and contraindications. If you're unsure which gel is right for you, it's important to consult with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Tostran Gel is a type of testosterone replacement therapy most suitable for adult men. It is used to treat a variety of health problems caused by low testosterone (male hypogonadism). These include:

• tiredness
• depressive moods
• low sex drive
• infertility
• impotence
• bone loss caused by low hormone levels

What is a Tostran Gel pump?

Tostran Gel is supplied in a canister with a pumping mechanism called a ‘Tostran Gel pump’. This is used to deliver one half-gram of gel (10mg of testosterone) each time the pump is pushed right down. Each canister of Tostran contains 60 grams of gel. Before using the pump for the first time, make sure it is ready for use and ‘primed’ as outlined in the instructions. Your doctor will have informed you how many ‘pumps’ of Tostran Gel you need as part of your treatment plan. You should always use Tostran Gel as prescribed by your doctor.

[H3] What are Testogel sachets?

Testogel Gel sachets are another form of testosterone replacement therapy that you apply as a gel to your skin. Once applied the testosterone in the gel passes through your skin into your bloodstream where it is absorbed. Testogel Gel sachets are mainly used by adult men to treat the symptoms caused by low testosterone levels.
