How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 100 mg/ml Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed for direct application on the skin. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application, ensuring the localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredient, progesterone. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, maintaining pregnancy, and preventing the overgrowth of the uterine lining.

For the treatment of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, the cream is typically applied once or twice daily. Consistency is key, so it's important to apply the cream at the same time each day to maintain stable hormone levels in the body. The cream should be applied to clean, dry skin, avoiding any areas of broken or irritated skin. Care should also be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Progesterone 100 mg/ml Topical Cream can also be used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. Similar to its use in treating menopausal symptoms, the cream should be applied once or twice daily at the same time each day. As always, the cream should be applied to clean, dry skin and should not be applied to broken or irritated skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

When used to prevent overgrowth of the uterine lining, the application instructions remain the same. Apply the cream once or twice daily at the same time each day to clean, dry skin. Avoid application on broken or irritated skin and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Progesterone 100 mg/ml Topical Cream is a appropriate treatment for a variety of conditions when used as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about how to use this medication, please 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.
