Testosterone Patches

TESTODERM

The usual dose is 1 patch per day. The larger patch delivers 6 milligrams of testosterone. The smaller patch delivers 4 milligrams.

ANDRODERM

The usual starting dose is one 5-milligram patch or two 2.5-milligram patches per day. Depending on results, your doctor may increase the dosage to 1 large and 1 small patch (or 3 small patches) daily, or reduce it to 1 small patch per day of testosterone.

Overdosage

Testosterone overdose is very rare, but has been implicated in one case of stroke. Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.
