Warnings
You should not use AndroGel if you have prostate cancer, male breast cancer, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Testosterone can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. A pregnant woman should avoid coming into contact with this medicine, or with a man's skin where the medicine has been applied.

Topical testosterone is absorbed through the skin and can cause side effects or symptoms of male features in a child or woman who comes into contact with this medicine. Call your doctor if a person who has close contact with you develops enlarged genitals, premature pubic hair, increased libido, aggressive behavior, male-pattern baldness, excessive body hair growth, increased acne, irregular menstrual periods, or any signs of male characteristics.

Yes, I know all this. I have been taking it since 2008 which is over 15 years. I have read the warning labels many times. I will start back on it after my first PSA reading after radiation which is July 18. With my testosterone level at 12 ng/dl without it I feel like crap and no drive at all. Studies have shown that men OVER 70 YEARS OLD having your testosterone shut off by Lupron make absolutely no difference in Biochemical reoccurrence or overall survival after proton radiation therapy. Since I am 74, I only went off it to cover my bets because many men just have radiation without androgen deprivation. Thanks for your response.
