Why can't Fortesta be applied to the shoulders and arms like Androgel? Is there a specific reason for applying it to the inner thighs?

Hi, Jim!

From what I've found on the FDA's information sheet, it appears that it's so powerful that when women and children have inadvertently come into contact with even trace amounts from someone else being treated with it, it has created problems, such as early puberty, hormonal imbalance and unexpected hair growth in women and etc.

Thus, it's strictly recommended that it be applied to the thighs, where it will be covered by clothing.

You can learn more Fortesta details here.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks for the reply. I've been on AndorGel for seven years and was just switched over because of insurance issues. I have blood work in a week so will see if the Fortesta is any more potent than the AndroGel was.
