Testosterone gels account for the majority (over 90 %) of prescriptions in the US.

Overall, the number of patients with at least one prescription claim for injectable testosterone product more than doubled from approximately 328,000 patients in year 2009 to 796,000 patients in year 2012. Throughout this time period, patients 50+ years of age accounted for slightly more than half of patients using testosterone injections compared to patients 0-49 years of age. Between both age groups, the absolute number of patients, 0-49 years and 50+ years, more than doubled from year 2009 to year 2012.
