Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specially compounded topical gel containing Testosterone, available in concentrations ranging from 1 mg/Gm to 10 mg/Gm. This unique formulation is designed to address various conditions such as hypogonadism, delayed puberty, and other disorders associated with testosterone deficiency.

Testosterone is a hormone naturally produced in the body, playing a crucial role in the development of male characteristics. Low levels of testosterone can lead to a host of symptoms, including decreased libido, fatigue, and depression.

The gel is a semisolid formulation dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients. The gel-like consistency ensures a more direct absorption of the hormone into the body, bypassing the digestive system and providing a more efficient delivery method.

Our compounded testosterone gel is available in a range of concentrations, allowing for a more personalized approach to treatment. This flexibility in dosage ensures that each patient receives the optimal amount of testosterone needed to address their specific condition and symptoms.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat your condition, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to provide guidance and support as you navigate your treatment options.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Testosterone 1 mg/Gm To 10 mg/Gm Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed for targeted treatment of hypogonadism in adult males. This condition is characterized by the body's inability to produce enough testosterone, a hormone that plays a key role in masculine growth and development during puberty. The topical gel is also used in the treatment of certain types of breast cancer in women.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The active ingredients are absorbed through the skin, providing a direct and targeted approach to treatment. This method of application can help to minimize potential side effects associated with oral or injectable forms of medication.

However, there are certain conditions and circumstances where the use of Testosterone Topical Gel is not recommended. It should not be used in children or adolescents, as the effects of testosterone on their developing bodies are not fully understood. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid using the gel, as it can potentially harm the baby.

Patients with known or suspected prostate cancer, breast cancer, or any other malignancy should not use Testosterone Topical Gel. The gel is also contraindicated in patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity to testosterone or any of its components. Additionally, it should not be used in patients with severe hepatic impairment, as their bodies may not be able to metabolize the medication properly.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Testosterone 1 mg/Gm To 10 mg/Gm Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out. It's important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and to discuss any potential risks or side effects.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
