How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 0.6 mg/ml Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation designed for direct application to the skin. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, as well as osteoporosis and vaginal atrophy. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application.

The active ingredient, estradiol, is a form of estrogen. When applied, the gel is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, where it works to increase the body's levels of estradiol. This increase in estradiol can help to alleviate menopausal symptoms and reduce the risk of osteoporosis by improving bone density.

When using Estradiol 0.6 mg/ml Topical Gel, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The gel should be applied to clean, dry skin, typically on the arms, abdomen, or thighs. It should not be applied to broken or irritated skin. After application, it is important to wash your hands and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

While Estradiol 0.6 mg/ml Topical Gel is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation, itching, or redness. If these or any other side effects occur, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

If you have any questions or concerns about Estradiol 0.6 mg/ml Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider. They are there to help you find the best treatment for your condition.

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.
