Further, the present invention relates to a method of preventing the occurrence of an allergic rhinitis event in a male, who is undergoing a hypogonadism treatment with an intranasal testosterone bio-adhesive gel. In certain embodiments, the intranasal testosterone bio-adhesive gel formulation according to the invention comprises 4.0% and 4.5% testosterone.
