September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, an opportunity to recognize the importance of open conversations between healthcare providers and their patients about sexual health and wellness. Sexual health is an important part of overall health and well-being and can include physical, emotional, mental, and social considerations.¹
Every patient is different, and conversations around sexual wellness can be just as individual. A patient’s health history, life stage, personal concerns, and wellness goals can all be part of the conversation between a provider and their patient.
For patients who may benefit from an individualized approach, WP Pharma Labs offers a range of patient-specific compounded formulations within its Men’s and Women’s Sexual Health portfolios. When a compounded medication is prescribed, WP Pharma Labs prepares the formulation according to the healthcare provider’s patient-specific prescription.
Individualized Options for Men’s Sexual Health
Men’s sexual wellness can look different from one patient to the next. Sexual health concerns in men can be associated with a variety of factors, including health conditions, medications, hormonal factors, lifestyle, and emotional well-being.² Having access to a variety of formulations gives healthcare providers options to explore as part of individualized conversations with their patients.
WP Pharma Labs offers patient-specific compounded formulations within its Men’s Sexual Health and Men’s Health portfolios, including:
- Tadalafil / Vardenafil
- Tadalafil / Ginger Root
- Testosterone Cypionate / Anastrozole
- Testosterone Cypionate / DHEA
- Testosterone Cypionate / Enanthate
- Testosterone Cypionate in Grapeseed Oil
- Testosterone Propionate
- Enclomiphene Citrate
- DHEA SR
With a variety of ingredients, strengths, combinations, and dosage forms available, providers can review the options available when having individualized conversations with their patients.
Individualized Options for Women’s Sexual Health
Women’s sexual wellness can evolve throughout different stages of adulthood, including perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Changes associated with declining estrogen levels during this time can affect vaginal and urinary tissues and may contribute to symptoms such as vaginal dryness, decreased lubrication, and discomfort during sexual activity.³
As patients move through these different stages, their experiences, concerns, and wellness goals may change as well. These changes can become part of the ongoing conversation between a woman and her healthcare provider, with care remaining individualized to the patient.
WP Pharma Labs’ Women’s Sexual Health portfolio includes patient-specific compounded formulations such as:
- Hyaluronic Acid / DHEA / Vitamin E
- Sildenafil / Aminophylline / Arginine
- Sildenafil / Aminophylline / Arginine / Testosterone
- Sildenafil / Arginine
- Sildenafil / Arginine / Menthol
- Tadalafil / Testosterone
- DHEA SR
- Testosterone
- Progesterone Pellets
These formulations represent some of the ingredients, combinations, and dosage forms available within the WP Pharma Labs portfolio.
Keeping the Conversation Individual
Sexual wellness is personal, and the conversations surrounding it are rarely one-size-fits-all. Sexual Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to recognize the value of conversations between healthcare providers and their patients and the individualized nature of those discussions.
