Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as vaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, menopause, postmenopausal osteoporosis, and hirsutism. DHEA is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body and plays a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance. The suppository form of DHEA is intended for vaginal insertion, which allows for direct absorption into the bloodstream. This method of administration is particularly beneficial for conditions that require localized treatment.

Vaginal atrophy is a condition characterized by the thinning and drying of the vaginal walls due to a decrease in estrogen levels. DHEA suppositories can help restore the natural lubrication of the vagina, thereby reducing discomfort and enhancing sexual function.

Dyspareunia, a condition marked by pain during sexual intercourse, can also be effectively managed with DHEA suppositories. These suppositories can help alleviate pain and improve sexual function.

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life when the body ceases to produce estrogen. DHEA suppositories can help restore hormonal balance and mitigate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle due to a decrease in estrogen levels, can also be managed with DHEA suppositories. These suppositories can help restore hormonal balance and reduce the risk of bone fractures.

Hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in areas where it is not typically seen, can be effectively managed with DHEA suppositories. These suppositories can help reduce hair growth and improve overall skin health.

At Bayview Pharmacy, our team of compounding pharmacists is committed to providing the highest quality compounded medications to cater to the unique needs of our patients. If you have any queries about DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository or any of our other compounded medications, please feel free to contact us.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is a compounded formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with Vaginal Atrophy, Dyspareunia, Menopause, Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, and Hirsutism. DHEA is a hormone naturally produced by the body, which is converted into other essential hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. This hormone plays a crucial role in mitigating menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Moreover, DHEA is believed to contribute to the reduction of postmenopausal osteoporosis risk by enhancing bone density. It is also beneficial in managing hirsutism, a condition that results in excessive hair growth in women.

However, it is crucial to note that DHEA should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential harm to the fetus or infant. If you have any queries or concerns about using DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository for the treatment of Vaginal Atrophy, Dyspareunia, Menopause, Postmenopausal Osteoporosis, or Hirsutism, please do not hesitate to seek professional advice.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is a hormone replacement therapy that is used to treat a variety of conditions. These conditions include menopause, postmenopausal osteoporosis, hirsutism, vaginal atrophy, and dyspareunia. DHEA is a hormone that is naturally produced by the adrenal glands. It is converted into other hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, within the body.

The suppository form of DHEA is designed to be inserted into the vagina, where it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This method allows for a more direct and efficient delivery of the hormone to the body. DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is used to treat vaginal atrophy, a condition characterized by thin and dry vaginal walls due to decreased estrogen levels. This condition can cause discomfort during intercourse and increase the risk of infection. DHEA helps restore the natural lubrication of the vagina and can help reduce the symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is also used to treat dyspareunia, a condition where a woman experiences pain during intercourse. This can be caused by a decrease in estrogen levels, leading to a decrease in natural lubrication. DHEA helps restore the natural lubrication of the vagina and can help reduce the symptoms of dyspareunia.

Additionally, DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is used to treat menopause, a condition where a woman's menstrual cycle stops and her body no longer produces estrogen. DHEA helps restore the natural balance of hormones in the body and can help reduce the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is also used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, a condition where the bones become weak and brittle due to a decrease in estrogen levels. DHEA helps restore the natural balance of hormones in the body and can help reduce the risk of bone fractures.

Lastly, DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository is used to treat hirsutism, a condition where a woman has excessive body hair. This can be caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body, which can be restored by DHEA. If you have any questions about DHEA 5 mg Vaginal Suppository or how it can help treat these conditions, please reach out to us.

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.
