A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 2% Topical Facial Cream is a potent formulation designed to address a range of skin conditions. This semisolid preparation is dispensed via a pump mechanism, ensuring a convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredient, progesterone.

One of the conditions this cream can effectively treat is acne, a prevalent skin issue marked by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. The cream works by reducing inflammation and sebum production, which in turn minimizes the appearance of acne.

Rosacea, a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, flushing, and bumps on the face, can also be managed with Progesterone 2% Topical Facial Cream. The cream's anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce the redness and inflammation associated with rosacea.

For those dealing with melasma, a skin condition that results in dark patches on the face, Progesterone 2% Topical Facial Cream can be beneficial. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, thereby reducing the appearance of melasma.

Similarly, the cream can also be used to treat hyperpigmentation, another skin condition that causes dark patches on the skin. By inhibiting melanin production, the cream helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Progesterone 2% Topical Facial Cream can also be used to manage hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women. The cream works by inhibiting the production of androgens, thereby reducing the appearance of hirsutism.

If you have any questions about using Progesterone 2% Topical Facial Cream to treat any of these conditions, please don't hesitate to reach out for more information.

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.
