Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

It’s estimated that erectile dysfunction (ED) affects more than 18 million men in the United States alone.¹

The majority of those men are over 40 years old, but it can strike no matter what your age. Sometimes ED is an unfortunate side effect of a disease. For instance, men who have diabetes, decreased testosterone levels, high blood pressure, an enlarged prostate, or some other health conditions may get ED. Often times after prostate surgery men experience ED due to nerve damage or other trauma to the male body.² Sometimes smoking, alcohol use, or certain medications can all cause ED. It can even be the result of everyday pressures such as stress, anxiety, or just nervousness.³ Fortunately, no matter what the cause, Erectile Dysfunction can be successfully treated.⁴

While some men respond well to oral ED treatments such as Viagra or Cialis, others do not respond to these treatments or have uncomfortable or even dangerous side effects to these medications.⁵ In those cases custom compounded medications can often be used successfully to treat ED.⁶

The injectable medications Papaverine, Phentolamine, Alprostadil (Prostaglandin E1), and/or Atropine are used individually or in combination. While an injectable ED medication may sound intimidating or even painful, the truth is, the treatment involves very little discomfort and is an easy and very effective way to treat ED.⁷
