Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 50 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 is 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 age, stress, or other factors.

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

Men experiencing Andropause can benefit from DHEA as it 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.

For individuals at risk of Osteoporosis, DHEA can help to reduce this risk by increasing bone density and strength. If you have any questions about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

The capsules are 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. This ensures that you receive the exact amount of DHEA needed to effectively treat your specific condition.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone naturally produced in the adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in the treatment of various health conditions such as Adrenal Insufficiency, Menopause, Andropause, Hypogonadism, and Osteoporosis. The body converts DHEA into testosterone and estrogen, hormones that are thought to alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions.

DHEA has demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing energy levels, reducing hot flashes, and improving libido in postmenopausal women. It also shows potential in reducing bone loss in postmenopausal women and enhancing bone density in men suffering from hypogonadism. Furthermore, DHEA may help improve mood and reduce anxiety in menopausal women.

The DHEA is available in a solid dosage form of 50 mg capsules. These capsules are 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 capsules are gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions.

However, it is important to note that DHEA should not be taken by pregnant or breastfeeding women, or by people with certain medical conditions. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or supplement. If you have any questions about using DHEA, please reach out to a healthcare provider.

DHEA is also used to treat Hypogonadism, a condition where the body does not produce enough hormones. By supplementing the body’s natural hormone production, DHEA can help to alleviate symptoms of hypogonadism.

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.
