Compounded erectile dysfunction medications are customized preparations made for an individual patient from a licensed provider’s prescription. At Myerlee Pharmacy in Fort Myers, our pharmacists compound certain ED therapies that are not commercially available, including combination injection formulations that must be prepared by a specialty compounding pharmacy.
Erectile dysfunction can affect men of many ages and can be related to a range of underlying health factors. Because the causes vary from person to person, it is important to receive a proper diagnosis and a treatment plan from a physician. Compounded ED medications are one option a provider may consider, and they are always prepared and used under a provider’s direction.
When a commercially available oral medication is not the right fit, a provider may prescribe a compounded option. Combination injection therapies in particular are not sold as off-the-shelf products and require both a prescription and a compounding pharmacy to prepare them.
Erectile Dysfunction can affect men of all different ages, as well as men with certain health issues which may also lead to erectile dysfunction. It is important for you to receive the proper diagnosis and have a treatment plan in place with your doctor.

Injectable therapy is one approach a provider may consider. According to the American Urological Association, intracavernous injection is among the most effective non-surgical options for ED, and it is often considered when oral therapy has not worked. The single agents most commonly used include alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine, and providers sometimes prescribe combination formulations to improve effectiveness and help manage side effects. How and when any of these is used is determined entirely by the prescribing provider.
