The DHEA 100 mg Capsules are a solid dosage form, composed of two shells, either gelatin or vegetarian, that enclose the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The capsules are taken orally, typically once a day. However, the exact dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on the individual patient and the specific condition being treated. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when taking this medication.

Common side effects of DHEA 100 mg Capsules may include nausea, headache, and fatigue. However, these side effects are generally mild and manageable. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider immediately.

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone that is naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It is encapsulated in a solid dosage form, either in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, which encloses the medication. This form allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. Each capsule contains 100 mg of DHEA.

DHEA is used in the treatment of various conditions such as menopause, adrenal insufficiency, and depression. It may also be utilized to enhance physical performance, reduce body fat, and improve bone density. However, it is crucial to understand that the FDA has not approved DHEA for any medical use.

Patients should be aware that DHEA may interact with other medications. These include anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and insulin. DHEA may also interact with certain supplements like St. John’s wort and ginseng. Therefore, it is essential for patients to inform their healthcare provider about any medications or supplements they are currently taking before starting a DHEA regimen.

There are potential side effects associated with DHEA, including nausea, headache, and acne. Patients should discuss these potential side effects with their healthcare provider before starting DHEA. It is also important to note that DHEA is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it may cause harm to the fetus or infant.

If you have any questions about using Dehydroepiandrosterone 100 mg Capsules to treat any of the conditions mentioned above, please consult with your healthcare provider. It is always important to have a comprehensive understanding of any medication you are considering.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
