How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 1.6%/Vitamin E Acetate 40 U/ml Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of health conditions. This unique formulation combines progesterone, a hormone naturally produced by the body, with Vitamin E Acetate, a potent antioxidant. The progesterone component plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, alleviating menopause symptoms, and treating conditions such as endometriosis. On the other hand, Vitamin E Acetate is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to enhance skin health.

When applied topically, the active ingredients in Progesterone 1.6%/Vitamin E Acetate 40 U/ml Topical Cream are absorbed through the skin and directly enter the bloodstream. This allows for localized treatment, ensuring that the active ingredients are delivered precisely where they are needed. The progesterone component works to regulate hormonal balance, while the Vitamin E Acetate works to soothe inflammation and promote healthier skin.

Typically, Progesterone 1.6%/Vitamin E Acetate 40 U/ml Topical Cream is applied once or twice daily to the affected area, as per the instructions of your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to these instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to avoid any potential side effects. If you have any queries or concerns about the usage of this medication, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

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.
