Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Pregnenolone 100 mg Slow Release Capsules is a meticulously compounded medication, specifically designed to treat a myriad of disease states. This formulation is composed of 100 mg of pregnenolone, a naturally occurring hormone, encapsulated in a slow-release capsule. Pregnenolone is recognized for its numerous beneficial effects, including mood enhancement, inflammation reduction, and energy level augmentation.

This advanced formulation is engineered with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative technology ensures a gradual release of the encapsulated pregnenolone over an extended period of time. This slow and steady release mechanism allows for a more consistent therapeutic effect, offering sustained therapeutic benefits, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

Moreover, this formulation is designed to minimize the risk of side effects associated with higher doses of pregnenolone, such as headaches, nausea, and dizziness. By providing a steady, controlled release of the hormone, patients can enjoy the benefits of pregnenolone without the discomfort of potential side effects.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality compounded medications to our patients. We understand that each patient is unique and requires personalized care. If you have any questions about this formulation or any other compounded medications, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This is achieved through the use of Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer. The slow release of the medication offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduces the frequency of dosing, and improves patient compliance, particularly for medications that require a controlled and prolonged release profile.

It's important to note that Pregnenolone 100 mg Slow Release Capsules may interact with certain medications, including anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, and corticosteroids. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any medications they are currently taking prior to starting this formulation. Additionally, these capsules may interact with alcohol, so it's recommended to avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

Pregnenolone 100 mg Slow Release Capsules may be used to treat a variety of conditions, including adrenal insufficiency, menopause, and premenstrual syndrome.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Pregnenolone 100 mg Slow Release Capsules are a hormone supplement designed to treat a variety of conditions, including adrenal fatigue, menopause, and depression. This formulation is encapsulated with Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer, which allows for a gradual and extended release of the hormone into the body. This slow release mechanism provides a more consistent level of hormone throughout the day, reducing the risk of side effects associated with sudden spikes in hormone levels.

Pregnenolone is a precursor to other hormones, such as progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol. By supplementing with pregnenolone, the body is able to produce more of these hormones, which can help to alleviate symptoms associated with adrenal fatigue, menopause, and depression. This slow release formulation ensures a controlled and prolonged release profile, offering sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance.

When taking Pregnenolone 100 mg Slow Release Capsules, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. The capsules should be taken once daily, preferably with food. Consistency is key, so taking the capsules at the same time each day is recommended to ensure consistent hormone levels.

If you have any questions or concerns about Pregnenolone 100 mg Slow Release Capsules, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to help you find the best treatment for your condition.

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.
