Men's health

Men's health prescriptions often need a form a manufacturer doesn't make: a topical testosterone in a specific strength, a low-dose anastrozole capsule, or a troche instead of a tablet. The pharmacy does compounding for these prescriptions at our Lancaster store, ready in 1 to 2 business days with free shipping anywhere in Ohio.

What we compound

• TestosteroneCream, troche or sublingual tablet; Schedule III
• AnastrozoleCapsule, 0.1 to 0.5 mg
• Tadalafil 10 mg/mL and sildenafil 1%Topical creams
• Finasteride 1 mgCapsule
• Minoxidil / finasteride / B6Topical solution

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance: e-prescribe it (EPCS) or send a signed prescription with your DEA number.

How ordering works

1. Your prescriber sends the prescription. E-prescribe, fax or phone it to the Lancaster store.
2. We confirm the price. Simple cash pricing, billed to the patient or the office. Nothing is prepared until you say yes.
3. We compound and check it. Ready 1 to 2 business days after the prescription arrives. A pharmacist checks every preparation before it leaves.
4. Pick up, free local delivery, or free shipping anywhere in Ohio. Refills work the same way: call us or use the Refill button.

Billing. We bill the patient or your office (cash pay). Typical cash price: #30 $49.99, #60 $79.99, #90 $119.99 (mL or capsules); prices can vary by formula.

How prescribers use these ingredients

• Testosterone: Prescribed to support healthy testosterone levels in men with low T (its FDA-approved use).
• Anastrozole: Aromatase inhibitor prescribed off-label to support estrogen balance during testosterone therapy.
• Tadalafil, sildenafil: Support blood flow; oral forms are FDA-approved for erectile dysfunction.
• Finasteride, minoxidil: Used to support hair retention and regrowth in male pattern hair loss.

Notes describe common reasons prescribers choose each ingredient; some uses are off-label. They are not claims about our compounded preparations, which are not FDA-approved and whose safety and effectiveness have not been evaluated by FDA. Therapy decisions are the prescriber's.

For prescribers

Mark the compounds on our Men's health order form or write your own formula, then e-prescribe to Medicine Shoppe #1018 or fax the form to (740) 653-8265. The prescriber guide covers the details, and the order forms are available to verified prescribers.

Questions we hear a lot

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. They are prepared for an individual patient on the order of a licensed prescriber. Nothing on this page is medical advice; ask your prescriber or pharmacist about any medication questions.
