What is Androderm? 

Androderm is a testosterone patch that is applied to the skin. It can be used to treat low testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels can be due to a number of conditions. It is also sometimes used off-label (for a use that is not FDA-approved) for transgender hormone therapy.

Androderm can be used in adult males, but should not be used in males less than 18 years old. 

This type of testosterone is not used to enhance athletic performance.

Androderm is applied to the skin at bedtime. Your doctor will order blood work periodically while you take Androderm. 

Women and children should not come into contact with this medication, because it can be absorbed through the skin. Testosterone can harm an unborn baby, so pregnant individuals should also avoid contact with this medicine as well as the man’s skin where the medicine has been applied. 

Use this medication exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not use more than prescribed, and do not share your medication with anyone. Misuse of testosterone can cause dangerous effects. 

What are the side effects of Androderm?

Common side effects of Androderm include application site reactions and back pain. Other common side effects include, but are not limited to, headache, depression, swelling, diarrhea, fatigue, acne, and change in libido. 

Serious allergic reactions are rare, but if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction like hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, get emergency medical help.

Before you take Androderm, tell your doctor about all the medications you take, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and vitamins or supplements. Some drug interactions include:

• Insulin: Androgens like testosterone can affect blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes who use insulin may need additional monitoring and dosage adjustments. 

• Blood thinners like Coumadin (warfarin): Patients who take blood thinners may need more frequent monitoring.

• Steroids: People who take corticosteroids such as prednisone in combination with testosterone may have increased fluid retention. These patients will need close monitoring, especially if they also have heart, kidney, or liver conditions.
