Have a question ? we're here to help
Testim is a topical gel containing testosterone, a male sex hormone. It is prescribed to those with low testosterone levels, going through menopause or have a condition called hypogonadism. Testosterone plays a key role in sexual development and function. Low testosterone can cause fatigue and low libido. This medication should only be used when prescribed by a doctor.
Testim Gel is prescribed to those who don’t produce enough testosterone naturally and need treatment to help increase it. The hormone gel is used by those who suffer with hypogonadism, have low libido, chronic fatigue, or are going through menopause. Your GP or pharmacist will need to assess your condition for you to access this medication.
