Transdermal testosterone has been used for years to treat patients with low testosterone symptoms. Clinically, we have monitored patients to evaluate results of testosterone absorption via blood serum concentrations. The data on multiple time points to determine trough and peak concentrations is lacking in the literature. In this case study, we demonstrate the absorption of testosterone cream via scrotal delivery. The data suggests that after application therapeutic levels are reached with concentrations of (1204.7 ng/dL) within two hours. Additionally, consistent concentrations (1320.6 ng/dL) remain beyond six hours. To our knowledge, this is the first study to collect and measure multiple time points for testosterone via transdermal delivery. The research indicates that testosterone via transdermal delivery is an excellent method to achieve therapeutic concentrations of testosterone. Most importantly, the patient's symptoms resolved without side effects.
多年来,透皮睾酮一直被用于治疗有低睾酮症状的患者。临床上,我们通过监测患者血清浓度来评估睾酮的吸收效果。文献中缺乏用于确定谷浓度和峰浓度的多个时间点的数据。在本病例研究中,我们展示了通过阴囊给药的睾酮乳膏的吸收情况。数据表明,给药后两小时内达到治疗水平,浓度为(1204.7纳克/分升)。此外,超过六小时仍保持一致的浓度(1320.6纳克/分升)。据我们所知,这是第一项通过透皮给药收集和测量睾酮多个时间点的研究。该研究表明,透皮给药睾酮是达到治疗性睾酮浓度的一种极佳方法。最重要的是,患者的症状得到缓解且无副作用。
