Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol Valerate 1 mg Capsules are a prescription medication, formulated in a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication.

The primary use of this medication is to treat a variety of conditions, including menopausal symptoms, hypogonadism, and certain types of cancer.

This medication is a form of estrogen, a hormone that is naturally produced by the body.

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.
