Arms & Interventions
Testosterone gel (FE 999303)
Subjects received a starting dose of 46 mg (two actuations) of testosterone gel (2%) daily in the morning. The dose was further titrated (increased or decreased - three actuations [69 mg] or single actuation [23 mg], respectively) based on serum testosterone concentrations.
Testosterone gel was applied using an applicator, to the shoulder/upper arm in a contralateral fashion.
Intervention: Testosterone gel (FE 999303) (Drug)
