Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) For Men
Prescribe the Right Dosage
Use hormone baseline test results to prescribe hormone replacement therapy to bring your patient’s hormones to their optimum targeted levels. Then, monitor hormone levels with periodic follow-up visits and re-testing to assess the effectiveness of the therapy and adjust as necessary.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone, although a primary male hormone, also plays a role in women’s health. A decline in testosterone levels in men may be indicated by symptoms including loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, deterioration in ability to concentrate, poor muscle tone and strength, lack of endurance and mood swings. Testosterone contributes to higher energy levels and overall sense of well-being, increases lean body mass, and helps in building strong bones.
For people not producing high enough levels of testosterone, Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) may be appropriate. This therapy should be considered when hormone deficiency has been clinically proven through laboratory testing of blood serum or saliva.
Testosterone can be administered orally, topically (through creams or gels), or via pellet implant (which is a pellet placed underneath the skin) or injectable. The oral route is not considered to be a primary method of delivery. Topical application of testosterone is usually the preferred method for TRT. We offer testosterone creams, gels, pellets and injectables in a variety of strengths. There are different advantages associated with different dosage forms, so the physician should discuss with the patient to identify the appropriate dosage form that would most effectively promote patient compliance.
Topi-CLICK Dispensing Applicator
A new metering dispenser for prescription topicals. Benefits include:
- Consistent dispensing volume
- Easy to use for all types of patients
- Easier to use than oral dosing syringes
- Domed applicator pad for application – so hands stay clean
- Available with pink, white or blue caps
- Improves compliance and reduces patient complaints
- Audible, visual and tactile click registration for user recognition
- Dispense volumes of 5 ml to 35 ml of topical creams or gels
- Patient “Refill” reminder line
Pellet Implantation
Hormone replacement therapy in pellets are placed beneath the skin, typically in the buttocks or abdomen, to provide a reservoir for your patient. Implanting the grain-of-rice-sized pellets takes about five minutes and should be repeated every four to six months. Pellet implantation offers stronger patient compliance due to not having a daily regimen of hormone dosing.
Like all medical therapies, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may not be appropriate for all patients. Both the benefits and potential risks of the therapy should be discussed with your physician before beginning treatment.
Tests for Hormone Levels
Given the current literature and sensitivity to the issues relating to HRT, the practice of routinely prescribing hormones without the appropriate testing for levels is highly questionable. To be accurate, testing should include levels of free (bioavailable) hormones that are more significant indicators of true deficiency or imbalances. Testing choices include serum (blood) or saliva tests.
