Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 2% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of gynecological conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, menopausal symptoms, and amenorrhea. This unique formulation is a semisolid substance dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

The primary active ingredient, progesterone, is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and is vital for maintaining a healthy pregnancy. The topical gel is applied directly to the affected area, typically the abdomen, where it is absorbed through the skin. This method of application allows for a localized delivery of progesterone, providing a more targeted treatment of the affected area and reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

The dosage of Progesterone 2% Topical Gel is typically once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. It can help alleviate pain, improve fertility, and reduce the risk of complications associated with these conditions.

If you have any questions about Progesterone 2% Topical Gel or would like to discuss its potential use for treating any of the aforementioned conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

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.
