Men's Health

Men have unique health issues and can often benefit from medications prepared by a compounding pharmacy. Amber Compounding Pharmacy is able to prepare custom medications to suit individual needs.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Andropause, the male menopause, is the result of a gradual drop in testosterone or increasing levels of estrogen. Symptoms manifest themselves in a number of ways including physical, emotional, psychological and behavioral changes. The effects that develop over a period of years can be numerous: decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass and strength, oesteoporosis, heart disease, decreased stamina, sleep disorders, mood changes, depression and anxiety.

Finding Balance

For andropausal men, treatment is necessary to restore strength, vitality and quality of life. This usually involves "rebalancing" the system with supplemental testosterone. A treatment for andropause often includes the use of compounded bioidentical hormones which are identical to the body's own chemistry, integrated with nutrition and fitness. This provides a natural treatment that helps men suffering from the symptoms of andropause to live fully.

Saliva and blood hormone tests can assist a physician in diagnosing the condition. Here at Amber and through a consultative process with physicians, we facilitate the return of male vitality using compounded medicines that include hormonal preparations. We offer testosterone therapy in a variety of strengths and dosage forms including creams to fit best with your unique needs.
