AndroGel comes in an easy-to-use pump.

This pump gives you the exact amount of medicine that your doctor has prescribed. Two pumps are included in your package of AndroGel. The pump comes in 5 g, 7.5 g and 10 g dosing options. If you are using 5 grams of AndroGel every day, this supply will last you 30 days.

Before applying your first dose of AndroGel, you'll need to press down firmly on the pump 3 times. Then dispose of this extra gel in a way that others cannot accidentally touch or swallow it. You do not have to prime your pump every day, only the first day you use it.


Check the label on your bottle to see how many times to press the pump for the dose your doctor has prescribed.


In addition to the pump, AndroGel comes in packets (in 2.5 g and 5 g dosing options).

Make your application part of your daily routine.

1. Apply AndroGel at the same time every day, preferably every morning, to clean, dry, intact skin.
2. Press the pump down firmly one time. If using packets, you can open them by tearing along the perforation. Remove the contents from the package. Squeeze the contents into the palm of your hand. Squeeze from the bottom of the packet up.
3. Apply the gel to one or more of the application sites (see illustration below).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have applied the dose your doctor has prescribed for you.

After you apply AndroGel:

1. Wash your hands with soap and water.
2. Let the application sites dry.
3. Cover the application sites with a shirt.
