Your spray,
explained.

Each tier is named for the total you apply each day, across both sprays. It is not the amount in one spray, and it is not a spray count.

Neither the tier name nor the milligram figure on the label is a spray count — the label does not print one. Your dose is two sprays unless your provider tells you otherwise. If you are not sure which row is yours, message your care team before you start rather than guessing.

Because the pump is metered — it delivers the same measured 0.20 mL every time it is pressed. Your prescription is built from two of those measured amounts.

Both sprays together are one dose. Apply them one after the other at the same site. Applying only one spray gives you half your prescribed dose.

Two reasons, and the second one matters more than it looks.

First, the doses are genuinely different — women's testosterone is prescribed at a much smaller daily amount than men's.

Second, the two products label their tiers differently. A men's tier is the amount in one spray, so his daily total is double the number on his bottle. Your tier is already the daily total. The two numbers are not measured the same way and should never be compared directly.

Never use another person's bottle or another product's instructions to work out your own dose.

This spray is applied every day, so a skipped day is a day with no dose at all.

Do not change your dose to compensate. Tell your care team how many days you missed and follow the direction they give you.

Yes — once per bottle, when you first open it.

Priming is a one-time step for each new bottle. You do not repeat it daily.

Your dose is unaffected. This is a metered pump: it dispenses the same measured amount whether the pattern is a fine mist or a stream. Only the spray pattern has changed. Do not re-dose, and do not skip a dose, because of how it looks.

It happens when air reaches the nozzle quickly after use and a little solution dries in the tip.

If it still will not clear after both steps, message your care team rather than continuing with a bottle you are unsure about.

Yes — but it must travel in your carry-on. Never put it in checked baggage.

The reason is mechanical rather than administrative: pressure changes in the hold can damage the pump mechanism, and a damaged pump no longer delivers a measured dose.

Keep it in its original labelled bottle. For questions about travelling with a prescription — particularly internationally — message your care team before you travel.
