Description

What is Cernos Gel 1%?

Cernos Gel is a topical medication designed for men with low testosterone levels. This condition, known as male hypogonadism, can lead to various health issues. Cernos Gel, manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical, helps restore testosterone levels in the body.

Uses of Cernos Gel

This gel is primarily used to treat male hypogonadism and is prescribed by healthcare professionals. Testosterone is crucial for male sexual health, and insufficient levels can decrease libido and lead to complications like erectile dysfunction, infertility, and loss of body hair. Cernos Gel 1% assists in replenishing the body’s testosterone needs.

How to Use Cernos Gel 1%?

As a topical treatment, it’s essential to follow your doctor’s instructions for application. Always read the label before use. Generally, you should clean and dry the application area before applying the gel to your shoulders, upper arms, and abdomen. Avoid applying it to the chest, back, or genital areas unless specifically directed by your doctor. Apply in thin layers, as excessive application can cause skin irritation and prolong drying time. You can wear clothing over the area once the gel has dried, and make sure to wash your hands immediately after use. Avoid using the gel before swimming or spending time at the beach.
