How Our Compounding Pharmacy Can Help

Sexual dysfunction can affect anyone at any age for a variety of reasons. Some chronic conditions, medications, menopause/andropause, and psychological barriers could prohibit a person from having a satisfying sex life. There are several ways to boost your sex drive and improve your overall sexual health, including lifestyle changes and discussions with a sex therapist or mental health professional. Here are a few treatment options available offered at our Peoria pharmacy:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

BHRT for women and men is a natural form of hormone replacement that uses hormones derived from plant sources. We offer a variety of dosage forms, from injectible solutions to formulas placed under the tongue and topical creams. While men typically require testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), women’s HRT may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. This type of treatment includes blood testing to identify hormone imbalances as well as consistent monitoring to ensure the best results.

Compounded Prescription Medications

You can also receive prescription medications to treat signs of sexual dysfunction, and our compounding pharmacy custom-makes a dose in the exact strength and form your body needs. A couple of the options include a libido cream or an oxytocin spray, but don’t hesitate to reach out and ask us about all of the personalized medications we have available!

Hormone Support Supplements
