What is a key recommendation when applying the Androderm testosterone patch?

  1. Apply directly to genital area

  2. Only apply to the abdomen area

  3. Apply to back, abdomen, thighs, or upper arms each night

  4. Apply and immediately go swimming

The correct answer is: Apply to back, abdomen, thighs, or upper arms each night

When using a testosterone patch like Androderm, it is important to apply it to a clean, dry area on the body each night. This ensures that the patch stays in place and that the medication is effectively absorbed through the skin. Option A is incorrect because you should not apply the patch directly to the genital area. Option B is incorrect because only applying to the abdomen may not provide adequate absorption of the medication. Option D is incorrect because immediately going swimming after applying the patch may cause it to become loose or fall off, reducing its effectiveness. Overall, always carefully follow the instructions and recommendations provided by your doctor or the medication packaging when applying the Androderm testosterone patch.
