Men’s health evolves, and hormonal balance plays a key role in energy, mood, physical strength, and overall wellness. At Wingate’s Pharmacy, we offer customized compounding solutions that support men at all stages of life. From low testosterone and fatigue to prostate health and sexual wellness, our pharmacists work closely with healthcare providers to prepare personalized hormone therapy and supportive therapies based on each individual’s needs.
Our goal is to help men feel their best through customized medications that take into account unique health goals, lifestyle preferences, and sensitivities.
Common Conditions That May Be Addressed with Compounded Therapies
Compounded medications for men may be included in treatment plans for a variety of concerns, including:
- Low testosterone (hypogonadism)
- Andropause (age-related testosterone decline)
- Erectile dysfunction or decreased libido
- Fatigue and reduced stamina
- Muscle mass loss or weight gain
- Mood fluctuations or irritability
- Prostate support needs
- Thyroid imbalances
- Sleep disruption or poor recovery
- Hair loss or scalp health concerns
Because every man is different, the key to effective therapy often lies in individualized dosing and delivery—a core strength of pharmaceutical compounding.
Customized Hormone Therapy for Men
Low testosterone and other hormonal imbalances can impact physical and mental health. Your healthcare provider may prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) as part of a personalized approach. Wingate’s Pharmacy compounds these hormones in tailored strengths and delivery methods, which may include:
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Thyroid hormones (T3, T4, or combinations)
- Pregnenolone or other precursors
Formulations can be designed to suit your body’s unique needs and avoid ingredients not tolerated well. We can compound medications free of common irritants, dyes, or preservatives when requested.
Dosage Forms and Novel Delivery Systems
We offer a wide range of delivery options to make treatment convenient and tailored to your preferences:
- Topical creams or gels
- Transdermal base formulations for consistent absorption
- Oral capsules or troches (dissolvable lozenges absorbed in the mouth)
- Sublingual tablets or drops
- Suppositories
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for men?
BHRT involves using hormones that are chemically similar to those the body naturally produces. These hormones can be customized in strength and form based on lab values, symptoms, and your provider’s recommendations.
How is compounded testosterone different from commercial products?
Compounded testosterone can be tailored to your specific needs in terms of dose, strength, and form. Your provider may choose compounded options if you are sensitive to ingredients in commercial products or require a more precise formulation.
What symptoms might indicate low testosterone?
Some men experience fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle mass, mood changes, difficulty concentrating, or poor sleep. These symptoms can be caused by various factors, so evaluation by your provider is essential before starting any therapy.
Can hormone therapy help with energy and mood?
Hormone balance may play a role in energy, mood stability, and motivation. Your provider can help determine if hormone therapy is appropriate for your situation.
Are there non-injectable options for testosterone therapy?
Yes. We compound testosterone as topical gels, creams, troches, and sublingual tablets, depending on what your provider prescribes and what’s best for your lifestyle.
Can I combine multiple hormones or medications into one formulation?
In some cases, yes. We can compound multi-hormone formulations (such as testosterone with DHEA or thyroid hormones) into a single preparation, if clinically appropriate and prescribed by your provider.
Is hormone therapy just for older men?
No. Hormonal imbalances can affect men of any age. Some men seek treatment in their 30s or 40s due to symptoms, lifestyle stressors, or other health concerns. Your provider can help determine what’s right for your age and health profile.
