Patient Reviews: How Testogel Has Made a Difference

You can also order a testosterone testing kit from us here.

Buy Testogel testosterone gel online UK

You can order testosterone online safely from Prescription Doctor's UK registered pharmacy. Following a consultation with our online doctor, a prescription can be issued and fulfilled by our pharmacy. All items are dispatched via a next-day discreet delivery when approved before 3pm Monday to Friday.

Testogel is a topical hormone replacement treatment for men who suffer from hypogonadism or testosterone deficiency. It is available in a pump for ease of use.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone (androgen) which regulates sex drive (libido), sperm count, fat distribution, as well as bone and muscle mass. As men age, the level of testosterone in their body slowly drops. Following a surgical removal of the testicles or disease of the testicles, such as hypogonadism, the levels of testosterone fall much faster.

Symptoms of low testosterone include:

Testogel returns testosterone levels in affected men to a normal range, relieving the symptoms.

How to get a prescription for Testogel online?

You can only buy tesosterone gel online from Prescription Doctor if you have been diagnosed with low testosterone levels and are experiencing symptoms. When you place your order, you will be presented with an online questionnaire about your health and your condition. You can upload testosterone test results to this form - this can help our prescriber when reviewing your online consultation.

To find out if you have low testosterone, you can buy a home testosterone testing kit from Prescription Doctor. Simply provide a blood sample and post it to our partnered laboratory using the free-post envelope included in the testing kit. Your results will be made available through your secure Prescription Doctor account. If your test results show a low level of testosterone, our online prescribers will be able to discuss appropriate treatment options with you.


How to use Testogel

Always apply testosterone as directed by your doctor.

You can buy testosterone online in a pump for easy application. A single pump of Testogel contains approximately 20.25 mg of testosterone. The typical dose is 2 pumps or 2.5g of gel containing 40.5 mg of testosterone.

The gel is directly applied to clean and clear skin around the shoulders.

Before you use the Testogel pump for the first time, remember to prime it by pressing the plunger down 3 times.

Do not use the gel from these 3 presses. Safely discard of this unused gel and thoroughly wash all surfaces which came into contact with the gel.

Apply the gel to the surface of the skin around the shoulders and gently rub in to create a thin and even layer of the treatment. Leave the gel for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the testosterone to be absorbed by the skin.

After applying the treatment, wash your hands thoroughly. Cover the site of application with clothing - this is important to prevent others from coming into contact with testosterone gel.


Testogel side effects and cautions

As with all medicines, testosterone gel can cause side effects, though not everybody who uses testosterone gel will experience them. Educating yourself on the potential associated side effects and being aware of any changes you experience while taking testosterone is important.

You can view the patient information leaflet for Testogel online.

  • changes in mood
  • sleeplessness
  • abnormal dreams

Allergic reaction

Other safety information

If you have questions about testosterone gel, you can message one of our online doctors through the online chat service.

You must apply the gel yourself - do not let anybody else apply the gel for you.

If you miss a dose of testosterone gel, do not use more gel to make up for the missed dose. If you accidentally apply more testosterone gel than you should, seek immediate medical attention.

Do not change the dosage or stop the treatment unless given the doctors' consent.

Before intimate contact, take a shower or cover the site of application to reduce the risk of somebody else coming into contact with the gel.

Do not use Testogel past the expiry date printed on the packaging. The date refers to the last day of the specified month.

Do not discard Testogel via household or water waste. Take any unwanted or expired medication to your local pharmacy and ask them to dispose of it safely on your behalf.

Always store testosterone gel out of sight and reach from children and pets.

Never share your medicine with anybody else, even if they are experiencing the same symptoms as you or have the same condition.
