How to Apply Testosterone Cream
Testosterone cream is a topical medication used to supplement testosterone levels in men who have low testosterone. Here's how to apply testosterone cream:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the cream.
2. Find a clean and dry area on your skin where you will apply the cream. Common areas include the upper arms, shoulders, and abdomen.
3. Open the tube of testosterone cream and measure the prescribed amount onto your fingertip.
4. Rub the cream onto your skin in a thin, even layer. Use circular motions to help the cream absorb into the skin.
5. Wait for the cream to dry completely before covering the area with clothing.
6. Wash your hands again thoroughly with soap and water after applying the cream.
7. Follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as this can lead to adverse side effects.
8. If you miss a dose of testosterone cream, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule.
9. Store the testosterone cream at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.
If you experience any unusual side effects or have questions about how to apply testosterone cream, speak with your healthcare provider.
