How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body and plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. It is available as a prescription medication in a 3 mg/Gm vaginal formulation, specifically designed to treat certain disease states. This formulation is a gel-like semisolid substance dispensed in a tube, created for easy and controlled application in the vaginal area. It is designed to deliver medication, provide lubrication, and offer therapeutic effects for various gynecological purposes.

DHEA is commonly used to treat conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, where the body does not produce enough of its own hormones, and certain types of infertility. It is also used to alleviate symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats. When applied directly to the vaginal area, DHEA is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, helping to restore hormone levels.

The effects of DHEA can typically be felt within a few days of use, but it may take several weeks to reach its full effect. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions when using DHEA. Do not use more or less than the prescribed amount, and do not use it for longer than recommended. If you experience any side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, or changes in your menstrual cycle, it is important to contact your doctor immediately.

If you have any questions about using the DHEA 3 mg/Gm vaginal formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

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.
