HORMONE THERAPY FOR MEN
At Pace Pharmacy, we specialize in customized hormone replacement therapy solutions for men experiencing testosterone deficiency. Our expert pharmacists work alongside your healthcare provider to develop personalized testosterone treatments that address your specific needs.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for men focuses primarily on restoring testosterone to optimal levels. As a specialized compounding pharmacy, we create customized testosterone formulations designed to address your unique hormonal needs. Unlike mass-produced medications, our compounded testosterone treatments can be tailored in various strengths, delivery methods, and formulations to provide personalized care.
Testosterone is the primary male hormone responsible for:
- Maintaining muscle mass and strength
- Supporting bone density
- Regulating fat distribution
- Promoting healthy libido and sexual function
- Contributing to energy levels and overall well-being
- Supporting cognitive function
What Does a Testosterone Deficiency Mean?

Testosterone deficiency (also called hypogonadism) occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone to maintain normal physiological function. This condition can significantly impact quality of life and overall health when left untreated.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone:
Men with low testosterone levels commonly experience:
Physical symptoms:
- Decreased muscle mass
- Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen
- Reduced strength and endurance
- Decreased bone density
- Hair loss
- Hot flashes
- Increased fatigue
Sexual symptoms:
- Reduced sexual desire
- Erectile dysfunction
- Decreased semen volume
- Smaller testicle size
Emotional and cognitive symptoms:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Memory problems
- Depression
- Irritability
- Lower self-confidence

Complementary Hormone Therapies
In addition to direct testosterone replacement, Pace Pharmacy compounds several medications that support optimal hormone balance for men:
DHEA Compounding
What is DHEA? Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen. Like testosterone, DHEA levels naturally decline with age.
Benefits of DHEA Therapy:
- * Supports natural testosterone production
- * May improve energy levels and reduce fatigue
- * Can enhance muscle strength when combined with exercise
- * Potentially beneficial for cognitive function and mood
- * Supports immune system function
At Pace Pharmacy, we compound DHEA in various forms, including capsules, creams, and sublingual drops, allowing for precise dosing and optimal absorption based on your needs.
Anastrozole Compounding
What is Anastrozole? Anastrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, helping maintain optimal hormone balance in men undergoing testosterone therapy.
Benefits of Anastrozole in Men’s HRT:
- Helps control estrogen levels during testosterone therapy
- Reduces the risk of estrogen-related side effects such as gynecomastia (enlargement of breast tissue)
- May improve the testosterone to estrogen ratio
- Allows for optimization of testosterone therapy outcomes
- Can be precisely dosed through compounding to meet individual needs
Our compounding pharmacists can prepare anastrozole in capsules with customized dosages much lower than commercially available options, allowing for the precise amounts often needed in men’s hormone therapy.
Clomiphene Compounding
What is Clomiphene? Clomiphene (also known as Clomid) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that can stimulate the body’s natural production of testosterone without external hormone replacement.
Benefits of Clomiphene Therapy:
- Stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Increases natural testosterone production
- May help preserve fertility (unlike direct testosterone replacement)
- Can be effective for younger men with low testosterone
- Often used as a first-line therapy before direct testosterone replacement
At Pace Pharmacy, we compound clomiphene in precise, customized doses to support your body’s natural hormone production pathways when appropriate.
