Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's compounded formulation of Testosterone 0.5 mg/Gm/Metformin HCl 100 mg/Gm Topical Cream is a specialized medication designed to address a range of health conditions. These include Androgen Deficiency Syndrome, Diabetes Mellitus, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Hypogonadism, and Obesity. The active ingredients in this formulation, Testosterone and Metformin HCl, work synergistically to alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions.

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating male characteristics and is commonly used in the treatment of Androgen Deficiency Syndrome. Metformin HCl, on the other hand, is an oral medication that is typically used to manage Diabetes Mellitus, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and Obesity. When these two medications are combined in a topical cream, they provide a localized and targeted approach to treatment, enhancing efficacy and minimizing systemic side effects.

This compounded medication is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This method of delivery allows for the active ingredients to be absorbed directly into the affected area, providing localized treatment and potentially reducing systemic side effects.

It is important to note that this medication should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Patients are advised to discuss any potential side effects or drug interactions with their healthcare provider before starting this medication. This is to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this compounded formulation.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality compounded medications. We understand that each patient is unique and may require personalized medication solutions.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Testosterone 0.5 mg/Gm/Metformin HCl 100 mg/Gm Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for topical application. It is indicated for the treatment of several conditions including Androgen Deficiency Syndrome, Diabetes Mellitus, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Hypogonadism, and Obesity. Testosterone, a hormone responsible for the development of male characteristics, is used to treat conditions like Androgen Deficiency Syndrome and Hypogonadism where the body does not produce enough testosterone. Metformin HCl, an oral antidiabetic medication, is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver and absorbed by the intestines. It is also used in the treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, a hormonal disorder causing irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, and acne, by reducing the amount of androgens produced by the ovaries. In the case of Obesity, Metformin HCl helps by reducing the amount of sugar absorbed by the body, thereby controlling excessive body fat.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used by patients with a known hypersensitivity to either testosterone or metformin HCl. Patients using this formulation should be closely monitored for signs of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and hypokalemia. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

These include Androgen Deficiency Syndrome, Diabetes Mellitus, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Hypogonadism, and Obesity. The cream contains two active ingredients: Testosterone and Metformin HCl.

Testosterone is a hormone naturally produced in the body, playing a crucial role in the development of male characteristics. It is used in this formulation to increase the production of androgens, hormones responsible for male traits.

Metformin HCl, on the other hand, is an oral medication typically used to treat type 2 diabetes. In this topical cream, it works by reducing the amount of glucose in the blood, thereby helping to manage diabetes mellitus. Metformin HCl also aids in alleviating symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, such as irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, and acne.

Additionally, it aids in managing symptoms of obesity, such as increased appetite and difficulty losing weight.

When using this compounded medication, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Ensure to use the medication as directed and refrain from exceeding the recommended amount.

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.
