How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol Valerate 0.01% Topical Solution is a liquid formulation designed for external application to the skin. It is primarily used to treat a range of conditions associated with estrogen deficiency. The active ingredient, estradiol valerate, is a form of estrogen that is directly applied to the skin, providing a targeted treatment for various dermatological conditions or localized effects.

Estradiol valerate works by replenishing the body's estrogen levels, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency.

Upon application to the skin, estradiol valerate is absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body. This process aids in restoring the body's natural hormone balance, which can significantly reduce symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency.

Estradiol Valerate 0.01% Topical Solution is typically applied once daily to the affected area. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. If you have any questions or concerns about the usage of this medication, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider for further 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.
