Androfil Gel is used for replacement therapy in males for conditions associated with deficiency/absence of endogenous testosterone, such as acquired or congenital primary hypogonadism and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as androgen replacement therapy, is used to treat low testosterone levels.

Androfil Gel contains Testosterone, which helps replenish the deficient testosterone levels in adult men. Thereby, Androfil Gel helps in treating low testosterone levels. Testosterone is the anabolic steroid and primary sex hormone in males, which plays an important role in the development of male reproductive tissues like the prostate and testes.

In some cases, Androfil Gel may cause side effects such as application site reactions, acne, prostatic disorders, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Androfil Gel is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
