Launch of Generic Testim® 1% gel

Released: 06/11/2014   By: Carl Richie, Pharmacy Manager

The generic equivalent of Testim® 1% gel (testosterone gel) has just been released, following FDA approval. Testim® 1% gel is used by adult men to treat the symptoms of low testosterone levels or no testosterone levels.

Generic prescription drugs approved by the FDA have the same high quality and strength as brand name drugs. Generic prescription drug manufacturing and packaging sites must pass the same quality standards as those of brand name drugs.

Carlisle Medical will be contacting physicians to inform them that the generic version of Testim® 1% gel is available. Management is our focus, as we are deeply involved in evaluating generic usage, as well as alternative therapies. We provide this on an ongoing basis through our Prescription Review Service.
