Tostran is a prescription gel aimed at men over 40 who suffer from hypogonadism.

Male menopause treatment Tostran launched

A cure-all for the "male menopause" was launched on Monday by a Scottish company in the form of a synthetic testosterone gel that can be absorbed through the skin. Tostran is a prescription gel aimed at men over 40 who suffer from "hypogonadism" -a condition whose main symptoms include baldness, weight gain, lethargy, irritability, reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. Men over the age of 30 experience a natural decline in their body's production of testosterone. In tablet form, testosterone is broken down by the stomach so a gel is preferable to the only alternatives - regular injections or an implant. Patients rub the gel over themselves once per day and absorb the testosterone through their skin.

As this is a prescription only treatment you should consult your GP is you want further information on this or other treatments.
