It is an alcohol based gel that you apply to the shoulders and stomach. The testosterone in it is absorbed through the skin. It comes in a pump bottle or a 5 gm packet. Your doctor can order it from your pharmacy. The alcohol may dry out your skin but it never bothered me. Google "Androgel" and I am sure it will all be explained. Using it daily keeps your testosterone level at a constant unlike the shots which give you a peak then a valley. I only used the shot twice when I went on scuba diving vacations because the gel would wash off in the ocean.
