Licensed Testosterone Gel for Men
Testogel® 16.2 mg/g available through Remivida Select
£159 Including Delivery
Remivida Select gives Drink Less Method customers access to clinician-led testosterone support, with both bespoke compounded creams and licensed testosterone options available where clinically appropriate.
For men who are suitable for a licensed testosterone treatment, we can offer Testogel® 16.2 mg/g gel in a metered pump.
Testogel is a licensed testosterone replacement therapy for adult men with confirmed testosterone deficiency. It is prescribed only after blood testing, clinical assessment and approval by a clinician.
This option may be suitable for men who prefer a licensed branded treatment rather than a bespoke compounded cream.
Why choose Testogel through Remivida Select?
Testogel is widely used, licensed and supplied in a metered pump. But the value of Remivida Select is not just the medication — it is the clinical pathway around it.
With Remivida Select, your treatment is:
- Available exclusively to Drink Less Method customers
- Reviewed by a clinician
- Based on blood test results
- Prescribed only where clinically appropriate
- Supplied as a licensed male testosterone treatment
- Easy to apply using a metered pump
- Monitored over time where required
- Supported by clear instructions and follow-up guidance
The aim is to give you a safe, structured and medically responsible route to testosterone treatment, rather than leaving you to interpret results or dosing alone.

How long does one Testogel pump last?
How long your Testogel lasts depends on the number of pumps prescribed each day.
| Prescribed use | Testosterone per day | Approximate duration |
| 1 pump daily | 20.25 mg/day | Minimum 60 days |
| 2 pumps daily | 40.5 mg/day | Minimum 30 days |
| 3 pumps daily | 60.75 mg/day | Minimum 20 days |
| 4 pumps daily | 81 mg/day | Minimum 15 days |
The usual starting dose is often 2 pumps daily, equal to 40.5 mg testosterone per day, adjusted by the clinician according to testosterone levels and clinical response. The licensed dose range is from 1 pump daily to 4 pumps daily.
How Testogel works
Testogel is applied to the skin. Testosterone is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream.
The aim is to restore testosterone levels to an appropriate physiological range in men with confirmed testosterone deficiency.
Your clinician will use your symptoms, blood results and safety markers to decide whether treatment is suitable, what dose should be prescribed, and whether the dose needs adjusting over time.
Testogel is not intended for bodybuilding, sports performance enhancement or general wellness use.
How to apply Testogel
Your clinician will confirm your exact dose and application instructions.
General application guidance:
- Apply the prescribed number of pumps once daily.
- Apply to clean, dry, healthy skin.
- Testogel is usually applied to the shoulders and upper arms.
- Rub in gently and allow the gel to dry before dressing.
- Wash your hands with soap and water after application.
- Avoid showering, bathing or swimming shortly after applying unless advised otherwise.
- Keep the application area covered once dry to reduce the risk of transfer.
Do not increase or reduce your dose unless your clinician tells you to.
Avoid transfer to others
Testosterone gel can transfer to another person through close skin contact.
To reduce this risk:
- Wash your hands after applying
- Allow the gel to dry before dressing
- Cover the application area with clothing
- Avoid skin-to-skin contact with the application area
- Take extra care around women, children and pregnant partners
- Wash the application area before close contact if needed
Contact your clinician if another person is accidentally exposed to the gel.
Why blood testing is required
Testosterone treatment should only be used when clinically appropriate. Symptoms alone are not enough.
Before Testogel can be prescribed, your clinician will need to review blood test results. These may include:
- Total testosterone
- Free testosterone or calculated free testosterone
- SHBG
- LH and FSH
- Prolactin
- Oestradiol
- Full blood count and haematocrit
- Liver function
- Lipids
- HbA1c or glucose
- PSA, where clinically appropriate
Follow-up blood testing may also be required after starting treatment or changing dose. This helps check whether testosterone levels are responding appropriately and whether treatment remains safe.
Testogel or bespoke testosterone cream?
Remivida Select offers both licensed and bespoke options, depending on your clinical needs.
| Option | Best suited to | Format | Strength flexibility |
| Testogel® 16.2 mg/g | Men who are suitable for a licensed male testosterone treatment | Gel pump | Fixed licensed strength; dose adjusted by number of pumps |
| Bespoke testosterone cream | Men or women who may need a compounded cream strength | Cream pump | Bespoke strengths from ultra-low dose to high strength |
Some men may be best suited to a licensed option such as Testogel. Others may require a bespoke compounded cream where a different strength, cream base or dosing approach is clinically appropriate.
Your clinician will decide which option is most suitable based on your blood results, symptoms and medical history.
Who may be suitable?
Testogel may be suitable for adult men with symptoms of testosterone deficiency and blood results confirming low testosterone.
Symptoms may include:
- Reduced libido
- Erectile difficulties
- Reduced morning erections
- Fatigue
- Low motivation
- Low mood
- Reduced muscle strength
- Increased body fat
- Poor concentration
- Reduced general wellbeing
These symptoms can have many causes, so treatment is only considered after assessment and blood testing.
Who should not use Testogel?
Testogel is not suitable for everyone.
Tell your clinician if you have, or have had:
- Prostate cancer
- Male breast cancer
- Raised PSA or prostate symptoms
- High haematocrit
- Severe untreated sleep apnoea
- Significant heart, liver or kidney disease
- Fertility concerns or plans to conceive
- Previous side effects from testosterone treatment
Your clinician will review your medical history and blood results before deciding whether treatment is suitable.
