Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 10 Mcg Vaginal Suppository is a specially compounded medication designed to alleviate a range of conditions associated with menopause. This includes vulvovaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, postmenopausal osteoporosis, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and vaginal dryness. The suppository is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts, allowing the medication to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This method of delivery ensures a more direct and effective distribution of the medication.

Estradiol is a type of estrogen, a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating the body’s reproductive system. It is instrumental in mitigating menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Additionally, it aids in reducing the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis and can significantly improve the symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause.

The 10 mcg dose of estradiol in the suppository is a low dose, which is designed to minimize the risk of side effects. Common side effects of estradiol may include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and bloating. It is crucial to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider about any potential side effects before commencing treatment.

If you have any queries or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 10 mcg vaginal suppository is a potent treatment option for a variety of conditions including vulvovaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, postmenopausal osteoporosis, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and vaginal dryness. This medication works by supplying a local source of estradiol, a form of estrogen, which aids in alleviating symptoms associated with these conditions.

Estradiol functions by reducing inflammation, enhancing vaginal lubrication, and promoting collagen production. It also plays a crucial role in mitigating the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis by augmenting bone density. Generally, the Estradiol 10 mcg vaginal suppository is well tolerated with minimal side effects.

However, it is crucial to be aware that estradiol can interact with certain medications. These include anticoagulants, anti-seizure medications, and specific antibiotics. It is highly recommended that patients discuss any potential drug interactions with their healthcare provider prior to using this medication.

Moreover, estradiol may elevate the risk of certain conditions such as endometrial cancer, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis. It is essential for patients to have a comprehensive discussion about these potential risks with their healthcare provider before commencing this medication. If you have any queries or concerns about the Estradiol 10 mcg vaginal suppository, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 10 mcg Vaginal Suppository is a hormone replacement therapy that is primarily used to alleviate a range of menopausal symptoms. These symptoms may include vulvovaginal atrophy, dyspareunia, postmenopausal osteoporosis, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and vaginal dryness. The suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. The medication is then absorbed through the vaginal mucosa.

The suppository works by replacing the hormones that the body ceases to produce during menopause. This hormone replacement helps to alleviate symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, burning, and pain during intercourse. Additionally, it aids in reducing the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis by increasing bone density.

The suppository should be used as directed by your healthcare provider. This is to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing potential side effects. If you have any questions about how to use the suppository or about the treatment in general, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
