Cleaning and Hygiene Practices with Androgel and Cotton Balls

Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying Androgel. Dry your hands completely to prevent dilution of the gel.

Use a clean cotton ball for each application to avoid contamination. Discard used cotton balls immediately in a trash receptacle. Never reuse them.

Applying Androgel

Apply a thin layer of Androgel to the skin, rubbing gently until fully absorbed. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

Cleaning Up Spills

If you spill Androgel, wipe up the spill immediately with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel. Then, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.

Storage and Disposal

Store Androgel in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Dispose of empty Androgel tubes and used cotton balls according to local regulations. Check with your pharmacist for specific guidance.
