Applying FORTESTA:

- FORTESTA should be applied to the front and inner part of your thighs only. Do not apply FORTESTA to the area of the thigh closest to the scrotum. Do not apply FORTESTA to any other parts of your body such as your stomach area (abdomen), penis, scrotum, shoulders or upper arms.
