Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Pregnenolone 75 mg Slow Release Capsules is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a variety of health conditions. The primary active ingredient in this formulation is pregnenolone, a naturally occurring hormone that plays a crucial role in the production of other vital hormones such as progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol. Pregnenolone is commonly used to manage conditions such as adrenal fatigue, menopause, and andropause. Additionally, it has been found to enhance cognitive function, alleviate stress, and improve mood.

This unique formulation is encapsulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative technology allows for a gradual and extended release of pregnenolone into the body, ensuring sustained therapeutic effects. The slow release mechanism reduces the need for frequent dosing and improves patient compliance, particularly for those requiring a controlled and prolonged release of the hormone. This makes Pregnenolone 75 mg Slow Release Capsules an ideal choice for individuals who need a steady and long-lasting supply of pregnenolone.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality compounded medications. We understand that each patient is unique and may require personalized treatment options. If you have any questions about Pregnenolone 75 mg Slow Release Capsules or any of our other compounded medications, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to assist you in finding the most suitable treatment option tailored to your specific needs.

Pregnenolone 75 mg Slow Release Capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer, designed to gradually release the active ingredient over an extended period. This formulation offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

It's important to note that Pregnenolone may interact with other medications, supplements, or herbal products. Therefore, patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are currently taking before starting Pregnenolone.

For patients undergoing treatment for depression, Pregnenolone may interact with antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any of these medications before starting Pregnenolone.

For those treating anxiety, Pregnenolone may interact with benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam and diazepam. Please inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any of these medications before starting Pregnenolone.

For patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, Pregnenolone may interact with stimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines. It's important to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any of these medications before starting Pregnenolone.

For the treatment of menopausal symptoms, Pregnenolone may interact with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Please inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any HRT before starting Pregnenolone.

For those treating premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Pregnenolone may interact with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It's crucial to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any NSAIDs before starting Pregnenolone.

If you have any questions about the interactions of Pregnenolone 75 mg Slow Release Capsules, please reach out to your healthcare provider for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Pregnenolone 75 mg Slow Release Capsules are a hormone supplement designed to treat a variety of conditions, including adrenal fatigue, menopause, and depression. The capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer, which allows for a gradual and sustained release of the hormone into the body. This slow release formulation 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 controlled and prolonged release profile of the capsules offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance for medications requiring a controlled release.

When taking Pregnenolone 75 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 ensures consistent hormone levels, contributing to the effectiveness of the treatment.

If you have any questions or concerns about Pregnenolone 75 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 guide you in finding 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.
