    medication applied to skin to treat low testosterone levels

    Testosterone Gel, also known as testosterone topical gel or testosterone replacement gel, is a medication applied to the skin to treat men with low or no testosterone. It helps restore normal testosterone levels, which can improve symptoms such as low energy, mood changes, and reduced libido. The gel is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, providing a steady release of testosterone.

      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may work by blocking signals that cause hair cells to stop growing, requiring daily application for effectiveness. It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.
