Androgel is the medicine of 1% of testosterone in the form of gel for drawing on skin intended for replacement therapy. Now testosterone gel is one of the most often registered medicines appointed by the patient with the lowered testosterone level (gipogonadism). Androgel is made by the Solvay Pharmaceuticals company.

Application

Testosterone gel Androgel has the following advantages:

Omit benefits of gel of testosterone come to an end. In too time the following shortcomings take place:

• Androgel and others testosterone gels have very high cost.
• In bodybuilding creation of high concentration of anabolic hormones in blood is necessary that can't be provided through integuments. In the drawing it is possible to see on the right that Androgel leads increase in a dose of medicine to increase in concentration of testosterone approximately on 150 units. Thus, creation of necessary concentration will require about 50 g of gel that significantly increases a medicine consumption (economically very costly), at the same time does its application extremely inconvenient. It is necessary to cover the big site of skin with medicine, and even in this case the layer of gel will be on so much thick that the most part of gel of testosterone will remain on clothes.
