A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 5 mg Troche is a square-shaped solid dosage form that is designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. This unique delivery method allows for the medication to be absorbed through the oral mucosa, providing targeted local or systemic effects. DHEA is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body's adrenal glands and it plays a crucial role in the production of other hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.

DHEA 5 mg Troche has been studied for its potential to treat a variety of disease states. It may be used to alleviate symptoms associated with adrenal insufficiency, a condition where the adrenal glands do not produce adequate amounts of certain hormones. DHEA may also be beneficial for individuals suffering from depression, as it has been shown to improve mood and energy levels.

For women going through menopause, DHEA 5 mg Troche may help to alleviate common symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Additionally, DHEA has been studied for its potential to improve bone density, which can often decrease during menopause. It may also be used to reduce body fat and improve sexual function.

However, it's important to note that DHEA may interact with certain medications. These include anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and insulin. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking before starting DHEA. Potential side effects of DHEA may include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and increased cholesterol levels. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take DHEA.

As with any medication, it's important to discuss the potential benefits and risks with your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about using DHEA 5 mg Troche to treat any of these disease states, please consult with your healthcare provider.

In the context of menopause, DHEA may help to alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms associated with this phase of life.

For athletes or those looking to improve physical performance, DHEA may help to increase muscle mass and reduce body fat. It may also help to improve endurance and reduce fatigue.

When taking DHEA, it is crucial to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels and blood pressure is also important to ensure the medication is working effectively and safely.

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.
