Overview

Androgel 1% Gel is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Testosterone 1% (topical gel). It is supplied as a gel and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Androgel 1% Gel is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Apply Androgel 1% Gel once daily, at the same time each day (usually in the morning), to clean, dry, intact skin on the shoulders or upper arms as directed by your doctor. Allow the gel to dry fully before dressing, and wash your hands immediately after application. Avoid skin-to-skin contact with others at the application site until the gel has dried, and cover the area with clothing to prevent accidental transfer, especially to women and children.

Dosage

Androgel 1% Gel is a HIGH RISK, specialist-supervised medicine. Your starting dose and any adjustments are determined by your doctor based on blood testosterone levels, symptoms, and regular monitoring – never start, stop, or change your dose without your doctor’s explicit instruction.

Side Effects

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to testosterone or any ingredient in this product
  • Use in women or children (accidental exposure via skin contact must be strictly avoided)

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Oral anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin) may have their blood-thinning effect enhanced, requiring closer monitoring
  • Insulin and oral diabetes medicines may need dose adjustment as testosterone can affect blood sugar control
  • Corticosteroids used together may increase the risk of fluid retention
  • Inform every doctor involved in your care that you use testosterone therapy, as it can affect several other treatments and monitoring parameters

Quick Tips

  • Attend all scheduled blood tests (testosterone levels, full blood count/haematocrit, PSA, liver function) as your doctor requires – these are essential for safe long-term use
  • Always apply to the same general area and let the gel dry fully before dressing to avoid transfer to others
  • Never share this medicine or allow skin contact with women or children before the gel has dried
  • Report new breast changes, mood changes, or difficulty urinating to your doctor promptly
