Ferring Pharmaceuticals has announced the positive outcome of the European Decentralised Procedure (DCP) for Testavan (transdermal testosterone gel 2%), a testosterone replacement therapy for adult male hypogonadism, when testosterone deficiency has been confirmed by clinical features and biochemical tests. The Netherlands acted as Reference Member State (RMS) on behalf of all 31 European Economic Areas (EEA) countries.

Testavan�s fast-drying gel formulation is based on Ferring�s Advanced Skin Technology (F.A.S.T.), a proprietary transdermal gel technology, which enhances bioavailability of testosterone through the skin. Testavan�s low dose and volume, in addition to its unique hands-free applicator, were designed to ensure patient convenience. The hands-free applicator may lower the risk of transference of testosterone skin residue from the patient to others.
