Axiron is transdermal supplement containing synthetic testosterone. Much like other androgen gels, it is administered through the skin. However, Axiron is unique in that it can be applied to the armpit for optimum absorption. Once applied, Axironâs other ingredients (ethanol and isopropyl alcohol) evaporate and leave testosterone on your skin. Over time, the testosterone is absorbed and is released into your blood stream.
