TESTOBOON Testosterone Gel 1% W/W 50mg Tube

TESTOBOON Testosterone Gel 1% w/w 50mg Tube from Kachhela Medex Private Limited (Nagpur, India) is a prescription topical androgen formulation used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in adult males with hypogonadism (primary or secondary low testosterone levels). This clear, hydroalcoholic gel in a 5g tube delivers 50mg of testosterone (1% concentration) for transdermal absorption, providing steady hormone levels without injections. Primarily indicated for symptoms like fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and muscle loss, it’s a generic alternative to brands like AndroGel or Testim. As a Schedule H drug in India (controlled substance), it’s not for non-medical use, women, or children—misuse risks virilization, cardiovascular issues, and dependency. Obtain via prescription with regular blood monitoring; Kachhela specializes in export-oriented pharma, but quality may vary from established generics.

Composition

Each 5g tube contains:

  • Active Ingredient: Testosterone USP (50mg, 1% w/w) – The primary male hormone for restoring physiological levels.
  • Inactive Ingredients: Typically include purified water, ethanol (for absorption), carbomer (thickener), propylene glycol, glycerin, isopropyl myristate, and tromethamine (similar to Testim/AndroGel formulations).

Potential Benefits (Based on Clinical Use and Patient Reports)

Prescribed for confirmed low testosterone (<300 ng/dL on two morning tests), it mimics natural production:

  • Hormonal Restoration: Elevates serum testosterone to normal range (300-1000 ng/dL) within 24 hours, steady-state by day 2-7.
  • Physical Improvements: Increases lean muscle mass (2-5kg over 6 months), bone density, strength, and energy; reduces fat mass.
  • Sexual Health: Boosts libido, erectile function (up to 50% improvement in studies), and spontaneous erections.
  • Mood and Vitality: Alleviates depression, irritability, and fatigue; enhances cognitive focus and well-being.

In Indian contexts (e.g., via 1mg/Practo), users report better quality of life in 3-6 weeks, similar to global gels like AndroGel (30-47% higher bioavailability than patches).

Usage and Dosage Guidelines

  • Typical Dosage: 50mg (1 full 5g tube) applied once daily in the morning. Adjust to 75-100mg (1.5-2 tubes) based on blood levels after 14 days (target mid-normal range). Max 100mg/day.
  • Administration: Apply to clean, dry, intact skin on shoulders/upper arms (or abdomen if specified). Squeeze gel onto palm or directly; rub in thoroughly over ~400-600 cm². Let dry 2-5 minutes before dressing. Wash hands with soap/water immediately after. Avoid showering/swimming for 2+ hours. Rotate sites daily to prevent irritation.
  • Duration: Long-term for chronic hypogonadism; monitor every 3-6 months (testosterone, PSA, hematocrit). Not for self-diagnosis—confirm via AM blood tests.
  • Precautions: Cover site with clothing; wash thoroughly before skin-to-skin contact to prevent transfer (virilizes children/women). Not interchangeable with pumps/patches dose-for-dose.

Consult an endocrinologist; alcohol may enhance absorption but avoid excess.

Side Effects and Risks

Common (5-16% incidence, often transient):

  • Skin: Application-site reactions (redness, itching, acne; 16%), dryness.
  • Systemic: Headache, mood swings, increased hematocrit (2-3%), oily skin.

Serious (monitor via bloods):

  • Secondary Exposure: Virilization in contacts (e.g., pubic hair growth in kids, voice deepening in women)—discontinue if occurs.
  • Cardiovascular: BP elevation, cholesterol changes (low HDL), VTE risk.
  • Prostate/Endocrine: Gynecomastia, BPH worsening, elevated PSA, infertility, testicular shrinkage.
  • Other: Sleep apnea aggravation, priapism, polycythemia (hematocrit >54%; phlebotomy if needed), dependency/withdrawal on abrupt stop.

Contraindicated in prostate/breast cancer, severe heart/liver/kidney disease, pregnancy. Rare liver toxicity; report to DCGI. Higher risks in elderly or with comorbidities.
