Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our unique slow release capsule formulation of Estriol/Estradiol [50%/50%] 0.25-1 mg. This innovative formulation is designed to provide a sustained release of the hormones Estriol and Estradiol, both of which play a crucial role in the regulation of female hormones. The slow release capsule formulation is made possible by the use of Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This polymer is designed to gradually release the encapsulated medication or active ingredient over an extended period of time.

The slow release of these hormones offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduces the frequency of dosing, and improves patient compliance, especially for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

Estriol and Estradiol are both vital for the regulation of female hormones. Our formulation ensures a sustained release of these hormones, which can help to alleviate the severity of menopausal symptoms, manage endometriosis, and treat uterine fibroids.

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.
