Men’s Health
At Westmoreland Pharmacy, we understand that men’s health involves a broad range of concerns, from hormonal imbalances and prostate health to addressing conditions like erectile dysfunction and hair loss. Our compounding services offer customized solutions to help manage these issues, supporting your well-being with medications tailored specifically to your unique needs.
Men may experience a variety of health challenges as they age, including:
Erectile Dysfunction and Low Libido
Decreased sexual performance and desire can affect both physical and emotional health. Compounded medications such as customized formulations of sildenafil or tadalafil can be tailored to suit specific requirements.
Testosterone Supplementation
Hormonal changes, often referred to as andropause or “male menopause,” can lead to symptoms such as reduced libido, decreased muscle mass, fatigue, and mood changes. Compounded testosterone therapy can be customized to match your unique hormonal needs, potentially supporting energy levels and overall well-being.
Prostate and Bladder Health
Conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or chronic prostatitis can cause discomfort and urinary issues. We can work with your healthcare provider to develop a medication regimen that supports your specific prostate and bladder health needs.
Aches and Pains
Chronic discomfort from conditions like arthritis or sports injuries can impact your quality of life. Customized topical treatments, such as anti-inflammatory gels or pain-relief creams, can be applied directly to the affected area to help manage pain without the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with oral medications.
Skin and Fungal Infections
Issues like athlete’s foot, jock itch, and other fungal infections can be addressed with customized antifungal creams or powders. These formulations can be made to your healthcare provider’s specifications to best meet your treatment needs.
Aesthetic Concerns
If you’re worried about hair loss, excessive sweating, or aging skin, we can compound medications that may help manage these conditions. For example, we offer custom hair loss treatments with ingredients like minoxidil, and formulations to help with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Unique Dosage Forms for Personalized Care
One of the key benefits of compounding is the ability to create medications in forms that are most suitable for you. For men who may have difficulty with standard oral medications or are concerned about side effects, we offer a variety of alternative dosage forms, including:
Topical Preparations
Creams, gels, or lotions that are applied directly to the skin, allowing medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream without passing through the digestive system. We commonly use topical preparations for testosterone therapy, pain management, or skin treatments.
Custom-Flavored Troches
These are small lozenges that dissolve under the tongue.
Nasal Sprays
For fast-acting relief, nasal sprays offer pain management without ingesting oral medication.
Suppositories
For patients who cannot take oral medications, suppositories offer an alternative method of administering medication.
The Benefits of Compounded Hormone Therapy
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, and this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including low energy, mood changes, and reduced libido. Compounded testosterone therapy allows for a personalized approach, tailoring the dosage and delivery method to meet your specific needs. Whether it’s a topical cream, gel, or troche, compounded hormone therapy can be adjusted based on your hormone levels and how you respond to treatment.
