Estriol 1 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of conditions related to hormonal imbalances. Estriol is a form of estrogen, a hormone that plays a crucial role in numerous bodily functions. These capsules are primarily used to alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

In addition to these uses, Estriol 1 mg Capsules may be prescribed to treat endometriosis, a condition where tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it. This medication can also be beneficial for individuals suffering from osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones due to low estrogen levels.

Estriol 1 mg Capsules are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, while ensuring a precise dosage of the active ingredients. It is crucial to take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider, and not to take more or less than the recommended dose.

Like all medications, Estriol 1 mg Capsules may cause side effects, including nausea, headache, and breast tenderness. It is important to communicate with your healthcare provider about any side effects you may experience while taking this medication.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estriol 1 mg Capsules are a form of hormone replacement therapy specifically designed to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. The active ingredient, Estriol, is a type of estrogen naturally produced by the ovaries. These capsules are designed to be taken orally, allowing the Estriol to be absorbed into the bloodstream where it binds to estrogen receptors throughout the body.

By replacing the estrogen that is no longer being produced by the ovaries, Estriol helps to mitigate the discomfort associated with menopause. Additionally, Estriol can contribute to reducing the risk of osteoporosis, a condition often caused by low estrogen levels. The capsules are typically taken once a day, with or without food, and it is recommended to take them at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the hormone in the body.

However, it is important to note that Estriol should not be taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Women with a history of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, or other hormone-sensitive conditions should also avoid taking Estriol. If you have any questions or concerns about Estriol 1 mg Capsules, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

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.
