Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a hormone supplement that is used to treat a variety of conditions. These conditions include Adrenal Insufficiency, Menopause, Andropause, Hypogonadism, and Osteoporosis. DHEA is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands. It serves as a precursor to other hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, and is used to supplement the body's natural production of these hormones, which can be depleted due to factors such as age, stress, or other conditions.

In the case of Adrenal Insufficiency, DHEA can help to restore the body's natural production of hormones. This can help to reduce symptoms such as fatigue, improve mood, and increase energy levels. For those experiencing Menopause, DHEA can help to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It can also help to improve mood and reduce anxiety.

For men going through Andropause, DHEA can help to restore the body's natural production of testosterone. This can help to reduce symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and erectile dysfunction. Similarly, for those with Hypogonadism, DHEA can help to restore the body's natural production of hormones, reducing symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and erectile dysfunction.

In the case of Osteoporosis, DHEA can help to reduce the risk of this condition by increasing bone density and strength. Our Dehydroepiandrosterone 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) are a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

If you have any questions about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your health.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a compounded formulation of an adrenal hormone supplement. It is commonly used in the treatment of various conditions such as Adrenal Insufficiency, Menopause, Andropause, Hypogonadism, and Osteoporosis. DHEA serves as a precursor to testosterone and estrogen, and is believed to aid in restoring hormonal balance within the body.

However, it is crucial to note that the FDA has not approved DHEA for the treatment of these conditions. Therefore, its use should be under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare provider. DHEA has the potential to interact with certain medications, including but not limited to anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and insulin. As such, it is advised not to take DHEA in conjunction with these medications.

Furthermore, DHEA may also interact with certain supplements, such as St. John's Wort, and should not be taken alongside these supplements. Potential side effects of DHEA may include headache, nausea, and insomnia. It is recommended to use DHEA with caution, particularly in patients with a history of depression or anxiety.

If you have any queries or concerns about using DHEA 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) for the treatment of Adrenal Insufficiency, Menopause, Andropause, Hypogonadism, or Osteoporosis, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information and guidance.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 25 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a hormone supplement that is used to treat a variety of conditions. These include Adrenal Insufficiency, Menopause, Andropause, Hypogonadism, and Osteoporosis. DHEA is a hormone that is naturally produced by the adrenal glands and serves as a precursor to other hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. It is believed to play a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism, energy levels, and immune system.

The DHEA supplement is available in a capsule form, which is composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The recommended dosage is 25 mg per day, which should be taken with food.

In the case of Adrenal Insufficiency, DHEA is used to supplement the hormones that the adrenal glands are not producing in sufficient quantities. This helps the body to function normally. For Menopause, DHEA is used to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings by helping to balance hormone levels and reduce the severity of symptoms.

Andropause, a condition characterized by a decrease in testosterone levels in men, can also be treated with DHEA. It helps to supplement the testosterone that is not being produced, allowing the body to function normally. Similarly, in Hypogonadism, where the body does not produce enough testosterone, DHEA helps to supplement the testosterone, enabling the body to function normally.

For Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle, DHEA is used to increase bone density. This makes the bones stronger and less likely to break.

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.
