Cernos Gel 1% is a topical testosterone replacement therapy used to treat adult males with hypogonadism (low or no endogenous testosterone production). Each 1 gram of gel delivers 10 mg of testosterone, absorbed through the skin to restore normal hormonal levels.
Unlike injectable forms, Cernos Gel offers a non-invasive, steady-release method of testosterone delivery, helping to maintain stable blood hormone levels throughout the day.
