Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 13 mg Vaginal Suppository is a specially compounded medication that is used to treat a variety of health conditions. This hormone, which is naturally produced by the body, is utilized in the treatment of conditions such as menopause, andropause, and adrenal insufficiency. Additionally, DHEA is employed to alleviate symptoms of vaginal atrophy, including dryness, itching, and burning.

The suppository form of DHEA is designed to provide a more direct and localized delivery of the medication. This method allows for a more effective treatment as the medication dissolves or melts after insertion into the vagina, releasing the medication for local or systemic absorption. This solid dosage form ensures that the medication is delivered precisely where it is needed, enhancing its effectiveness and reducing the potential for side effects.

It is important to note that the DHEA 13 mg Vaginal Suppository is not recommended for use in pregnant or lactating women. As with any medication, it is crucial to discuss potential drug interactions with your healthcare provider before beginning treatment.

Therefore, it is crucial to discuss any medications you are currently taking with your healthcare provider before starting DHEA. Furthermore, DHEA may interact with certain supplements, such as St. John's Wort, and should be used with caution.
