How Long Is Androgel Active On Clothing?

I had someone massage my shoulders, then when I put my coat back on she gave me a hug. My question: Could any Androgel on her hands have transferred to the coat? I took the coat outdoors in 90 degree weather to inactivate any remnants. Then I took the coat outdoors in frigid weather to also inactivate it. I have been afraid to wear the coat because I don't want to expose anyone. Am I worrying for nothing. This incident took place almost two years ago, Would that time alone inactivate the Androgel? Please advise.

Yes, after 2 years, you are most likely worrying over nothing. Even the FDA warnings only apply to immediately active transfer, as in within an hour, or two. They warn that women exposed to it could experience issues if they become pregnant, soon after exposure.

It should be fine for you to wear your coat, again. Even if some was transferred to the coat, the fabric would have absorbed it long ago, and the time, plus the elements you've exposed it to would have nullified the Androgel. Please don't be afraid to double check with a pharmacist, or your doctor, to be sure.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Then again, there is also never any harm in buying a new coat! We all deserve new stuff, now and then.
