As one in three men deal with rapid ejaculation issues,1 and an estimated 1–4% of men have experienced delayed ejaculation,2 a considerable portion of the male population is experiencing similar concerns. It’s no surprise that healthcare providers continually seek answers to a combination of problems specific to the individual patient. This is leading some prescribers to consider emerging therapies for comprehensive libido and sexual support that include, but are not limited to, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. When sexual health becomes complicated, assisting male patients in achieving sexual wellness often requires taking an integrative approach. For patient-specific options, many providers are combining a unique variety of ingredients with various PDE5 inhibitors when they formulate treatments for conditions related to sexual health and overall quality of life.
Though FDA-approved treatments for erectile dysfunction exist, there are no commercially available options for rapid ejaculation or delayed ejaculation. Urologists and men’s health practitioners have long used compounding pharmacies to source these options.
Combination Ingredients for Men’s Sexual Health
Prescribers using emerging therapies for male sexual wellness often combine one or more of the following ingredients with PDE5 inhibitors:
- Apomorphine
- Bremelanotide
- Cabergoline
- Dapoxetine
- Dextromethorphan
- Oxytocin
- Phentolamine mesylate
- Testosterone
- Tramadol
Most prescribers are seeking compounded PDE5 inhibitor medications because they offer an array of strengths, combinations and alternative dosage forms. There are many custom compounded PDE5 inhibitor combinations that results-oriented healthcare providers have developed as part of their integrative approaches to meeting their patients’ specific needs.
