Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Wash your hands thoroughly after application. This minimizes the risk of accidental exposure and irritation.<\/p>\n<p>Common side effects include skin irritation at the application site, such as redness, itching, or burning. Less frequent, but still possible, are changes in libido, breast enlargement (gynecomastia), and acne. These effects usually resolve when treatment stops, but discuss any concerning symptoms with your doctor.<\/p>\n<h3>Specific Precautions<\/h3>\n<p>Inform your doctor about all medications you&#8217;re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. This is particularly important with medications metabolized by the liver. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Androgel without consulting their physician. Men with prostate cancer or heart disease should exercise caution and discuss use with their doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Store Androgel at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children. Do not use Androgel after the expiration date printed on the package.<\/p>\n<p>Monitor your testosterone levels regularly as directed by your doctor. This helps ensure the treatment is effective and safe, and allows for adjustments as needed. Report any unusual changes in your health to your physician immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apply Androgel to clean, dry skin, avoiding broken or irritated areas.
