testosterone-transdermal (cont.)

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Tell your doctor of any over-the-counter or prescription medication you may take including blood thinners, insulin, oxyphenbutazone and of diabetes medication usage. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

OVERDOSE: If overdose is suspected, remove the patch. Contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call the US national poison hotline at 1-800-222-1222. Canadian residents should call their local poison control center directly.

NOTES: Laboratory tests will be done periodically while using this medication to monitor its effects and to prevent side effects. Female partners of patients using this medication have a minimal chance of developing acne or a change in body hair distribution and should report these to their doctor should they occur.

MISSED DOSE: If you miss a dose, apply a new patch as soon as remembered and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

STORAGE: Store patches at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 to 30 degrees C) away from heat, light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Properly discard used patches to be sure there is not accidental ingestion of the drug by others.
