Time to Try a Treatment for Low Testosterone (Low T)?

About AXIRON

AXIRON Is the Only Underarm Low Testosterone (Low T) Treatment

AXIRON is a prescription medication that contains testosterone and is used to treat adult men with low or no testosterone.

AXIRON is not intended for use in women or anyone under 18 years of age. It is not known if AXIRON is safe and effective in children younger than 18 years old. Improper use of AXIRON may affect bone growth in children.

How AXIRON Works

You apply AXIRON to your underarm(s) once a day using an applicator. Once applied, the other ingredients of AXIRON (ethanol and isopropyl alcohol) evaporate and leave the testosterone on your skin. Over time, the testosterone is released into your bloodstream. In most men, AXIRON can restore testosterone levels to within the normal range. Remember, only your doctor can decide if AXIRON may be right for you.

Important Information about AXIRON

AXIRON can transfer from your body to others. This can happen if other people come into contact with the area where the AXIRON was applied.

Signs of puberty that are not expected (for example, pubic hair) have happened in young children who were accidentally exposed to testosterone through skin-to-skin contact with men using topical testosterone products like AXIRON. Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed area where AXIRON has been applied. If a woman or child makes contact with the application area, the contact area on the woman or child should be washed well with soap and water right away.

To lower the risk of transfer of AXIRON from your body to others, follow these important instructions:

• Apply AXIRON only to your armpits
• Wash your hands right away with soap and water after applying AXIRON
• After the solution has dried, cover the application area with clothing. Keep area covered until you have washed the application area well or have showered
• If you expect another person to have direct skin-to-skin contact with your armpits, first wash the application area well with soap and water

Stop using AXIRON and call your healthcare provider right away if you see any signs and symptoms in a child or a woman that may have occurred through accidental exposure to AXIRON. Signs and symptoms in children may include enlarged penis or clitoris; early development of pubic hair; increased erections or sex drive; aggressive behavior. Signs and symptoms in women may include changes in body hair and a large increase in acne.
