Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 25 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specialized compounded medication designed to treat a variety of conditions. DHEA is a hormone naturally produced by the body, playing a crucial role in addressing conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, depression, and menopause. It is also utilized to enhance energy levels, libido, and overall well-being.

These capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative formulation is designed to gradually release the encapsulated DHEA over an extended period of time. This slow release mechanism ensures a consistent level of the hormone in the body, offering sustained therapeutic effects. This is particularly beneficial for patients who require a steady supply of DHEA to manage their condition effectively.

Reduced dosing frequency is another advantage of this slow release formulation. By maintaining a steady level of DHEA in the body over a longer period, patients can potentially experience improved compliance with their medication regimen. This is particularly beneficial for those who may struggle with remembering to take their medication regularly.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing high-quality compounded medications to our patients.

However, it is important to note that DHEA is not approved by the FDA for any medical use and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Patients should be aware that DHEA may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and insulin. It may also interact with certain supplements, such as St. John's wort, and should be used with caution. Potential side effects of DHEA may include nausea, headache, and insomnia.

Prescribers should be aware that DHEA 25 mg Slow Release Capsules may be used to treat menopause, adrenal insufficiency, and depression.

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.
