ANDRODERM  (TESTOSTERONE):  This medicated patch contains testosterone. It is used for hormone replacement in men who are not able to produce enough testosterone (e.g., hypogonadism). This medication is absorbed through the skin, enters your bloodstream, and helps your body reach normal testosterone levels. Testosterone helps the body to develop and maintain the male sexual characteristics (masculinity), such as a deep voice and body hair. It also helps to maintain muscle and prevent bone loss, and is necessary for natural sexual ability/desire. This drug should not be used by women.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-05-02 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  low testosterone In the last year pain in my thighs,legs and ankles has been increasing. I thought it was just my arthritis flairing up. I had not noticed any great positive increase in my energy or sex drive so I just stopped applying the patch a week ago. I can not explain how much better I feel it is almost like a miracle. I don't know for sure that stopping the androderm patch is the reason but I have a pretty consistent daily schedule and nothing else has changed that would cause this improvement. M 66 4 years
5MG 1X day

 4  Low Testosterone I have pretty bad skin irritation every time. A large red spot lasting over a week, with significant itching for the first few days after removing the patch. I was originally using Testim gel, which was okay. I didn't like having the gel on me and my clothes. Within a few weeks of switching to Androderm I had more frequent erections and a clearer mind. I just wish it didn't irritate my skin so much. It was more severe on hairier areas. Applying a hot compress for a minute or two before peeling of the patch helps a lot. M 37 2 months

 3  Low Testosterone due to a tumor I have to udpate my previous 5-star evaluation of this drug. Over the fist several months it worked well and I was only concerned about dirty spots on my skin after I removed Androderm. But then my skin stopped to tolerate it and I developed red skin and rashes each time I used it. Also I had anxiety from time to time. I had to discontinue using Androderm due to serious skin irritation. Now I am on Androgel. M 28 5 months

 5  Low Testosterone Slight skin irritation; low blood-sugar occasionally; increased appetite. Starting taking for low testosterone (154). Fatigue levels improved after one week and mood improvement after two weeks. Libido increased after about three weeks. Not sure how long it takes to get homone levels and your body back to normal. This stuff works very well. M 40 days

 5  Low Testosterone levels When my Testerone level was low (230), my allergies/Asthma went away. But now that my testosterone level is increasing, I feel my allergies coming back and I'm sneezing more. A doctor should research this connection. I'm not sure why my testosterone level is low, but I would work out all the time, and still be fat. When my level was normal, this was not the case. Since I have been using the patch, my muscle tone is coming back, and I'm not as anxious as I used to be. The only problem is that the 5mg adroderm patch does not stay on very well. I have to put a large adhesive bandage over the patch for to stay on. Overall, I would say it works pretty well. Although I would really like to find out the underlying cause of the Low testosterone (pituary tumor?). M 45 7 days

 5  FTM Itches like crazy if I put it too close to my spine. Stick well on my back, doesn't stick as well on my arm. Before this, I was injecting every week and the levels would fall before the next shot. I have more energy now that testosterone levels are consistent. M 20 1.5 months
