What is Testavans?
Testavan® is a testosterone gel (2 %) with a practical dosing dispenser that is used for hormone replacement therapy in adult men with proven testosterone deficiency.
The gel is applied once a day to the inner side of the thighs. The metering dispenser allows a particularly accurate metering. Each pump stroke emits a defined amount of testosterone, which facilitates individual dose adjustment.
