AndroGel™ is indicated for replacement therapy in males for conditions
associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone:
1. Primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) – testicular failure due to
cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome,
orchiectomy, Klinefelter’s syndrome, chemotherapy, or toxic damage from
alcohol or heavy metals. These men usually have low serum testosterone
levels and gonadotropins (FSH, LH) above the normal range.
2. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired)--idiopathic
gonadotropin or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) deficiency
or pituitary-hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radiation. These
men have low testosterone serum levels but have gonadotropins in the normal
or low range.
