Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 0.03%/Testosterone 0.01% Vaginal Gel is a specially compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various gynecological conditions. These include vulvovaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, postmenopausal vaginal dryness, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and lichen sclerosus. The formulation combines two hormones, estradiol and testosterone, which work synergistically to restore the natural hormonal balance in the body.

Estradiol, a form of estrogen, helps to reduce inflammation and improve the elasticity of the vaginal walls. This hormone plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of the vaginal tissue. On the other hand, testosterone, a male hormone, is known to increase lubrication and improve sexual function. The combination of these two hormones in the formulation helps to alleviate symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions, such as vaginal dryness, itching, burning, and pain during intercourse.

It is important to note that this formulation is not suitable for use in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to the potential risks to the baby. Furthermore, patients should be aware that this formulation may cause side effects such as nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and changes in mood. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

As with any medication, it is crucial to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider. Regular follow-up appointments are also important to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and to adjust the dosage if necessary. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, it is advised to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 0.03%/Testosterone 0.01% Vaginal Gel is a specially formulated topical medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with vulvovaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, postmenopausal vaginal dryness, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and lichen sclerosus. This gel-like semisolid formulation is dispensed in a tube for easy and controlled application directly to the vaginal area.

The medication works by providing a localized source of estradiol and testosterone, hormones that play a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of the vaginal area. Estradiol works to reduce inflammation and improve the thickness of the vaginal wall, while testosterone aids in enhancing lubrication and reducing pain. This combination helps restore the natural hormonal balance in the vagina, thereby reducing the symptoms associated with these conditions.

Typically, the gel is applied once daily or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is generally well-tolerated, with the most common side effects being mild irritation or a burning sensation at the application site. However, these side effects are usually temporary and subside as your body adjusts to the medication.

It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. If you have any questions or concerns about the medication or its application, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for guidance.

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.
