How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Testosterone 5%/Progesterone 1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as hypogonadism, menopausal symptoms, and endometriosis. This unique formulation combines two vital hormones - testosterone and progesterone - in a gel-like consistency that is easily absorbed through the skin.

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in male sexual development and muscle mass maintenance. On the other hand, progesterone is a hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle and prepares the uterus for pregnancy. Together, these hormones work to restore balance and alleviate symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

When used to treat hypogonadism, this topical gel aids in restoring testosterone levels to normal, thereby improving symptoms such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and fatigue. For menopausal symptoms, the gel works to reduce discomforts like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. In the case of endometriosis, the gel helps to alleviate pain and inflammation.

The application of Testosterone 5%/Progesterone 1% Topical Gel is straightforward. It is applied directly to the skin, typically on the upper arm, shoulder, or abdomen. For optimal results, it is recommended to apply the gel once daily, preferably at the same time each day. After application, it is important to wash your hands and avoid contact with others until the gel has dried. Additionally, swimming or showering should be avoided for at least two hours post-application to ensure maximum absorption.

If you have any questions or concerns about Testosterone 5%/Progesterone 1% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most effective treatment for your condition.
