How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Testosterone 5 mg Troche is a therapeutic formulation used to manage various conditions such as hypogonadism, delayed puberty, and other disorders associated with low testosterone levels.

The dosage and frequency of use are individualized based on the patient's condition and should be strictly adhered to as per the doctor's instructions. Typically, the troche is taken once daily, with or without food, and it is crucial to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent testosterone levels in the body.

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.
