Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Testosterone MD-Lotion

Experimental: Testosterone MD-Lotion - Participants received Testosterone Metered Dose (MD)-Lotion for 120 days. Participants started by receiving 3.0 mL (60 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion, and based upon restoration to eugonadal levels, may have had their dose of testosterone adjusted upwards or downwards on Days 45 and 90.

Doses could be titrated to one of the following:

1.5 mL (30 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 1 dose to the axilla (1.5 mL to one axilla).

3.0 mL (60 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 2 doses to the axilla (1.5 mL to each axilla).

4.5 mL (90 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 3 doses to the axilla (2 x 1.5 mL to one axilla and 1 x 1.5 mL to the other axilla).

6.0 mL (120 mg) of 2% Testosterone MD-Lotion applied daily by 4 doses to the axilla (2 x 1.5 mL to each axilla).


Treatment: Drugs: Testosterone MD-Lotion
30 mg to 120 mg administered topically once daily for 120 days
