Sexual Optimization

Sexual health should not be a taboo topic. Part of optimizing your life should be optimizing your sex life. You might find that your sexual energy will start to return as you optimize your hormones but you may desire an extra boost. That’s why we offer medications that are both short and long acting to make sure you’re ready whenever the time is right.

The class of medications we believe in at Steel Health and Hormones Centre are PDE5 inhibitors. The pharmacology behind this technology is complex, but just know that it helps you get and maintain an erection when stimulated. This does not cause unprovoked erections, but rather attains and maintains erections when desired. Below are examples of the medications we prescribe. 

Tadalafil

For the guy seeking spontaneity, timing his sexual optimization medication may be difficult. Tadalafil may be the medication of choice for him. Tadalafil has a long half-life (the time it takes for half the drug to “go away”) compared to other PDE5 inhibitors. This allows one treatment to last an entire day (sometimes multiple days!).

Sildenafil

This drug has a much shorter half-life than Tadalafil, but some people find the effects much more potent. There are even some men who report that it can delay ejaculation and shorten the refractory period (time between intercourse).

Tadalafil/Sildenafil Combo

Working with the best compounding pharmacies gives us the option to offer custom compounds to our patients. Some patients find a compounded version of both Tadalafil and Sildenafil provide a great “now and later” they’re seeking in their sexual experience.
