Testosterone 0.5 to 2 mg/ml Vaginal Gel is a specially formulated treatment designed for a range of gynecological conditions, including Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, Female Sexual Arousal Disorder, Postmenopausal Vulvovaginal Atrophy, Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, and Androgen Deficiency Syndrome. Testosterone, a naturally occurring hormone, plays a crucial role in both male and female sexual health, contributing to libido, sexual arousal, and vaginal lubrication.

This gel-like semisolid formulation is dispensed in a tube for easy and controlled application directly to the vaginal area.

The recommended dose is one full applicator (2 mg) once daily for up to 12 weeks. Regular monitoring is essential during this treatment period. Signs of virilization, such as deepening of the voice, increased body hair, and acne, should be watched for. If any of these signs are present, the dose should be reduced or discontinued. Similarly, signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism, menstrual irregularities, and elevated blood pressure, should also be monitored. If any of these signs are present, the dose should be reduced or discontinued.

It is important to note that Testosterone 0.5 to 2 mg/ml Vaginal Gel is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you have any questions or concerns about this treatment, please do not hesitate to reach out for further 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.
