Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 5 mcg/Dehydroepiandrosterone 3 mg Vaginal Suppository is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various conditions related to hormonal imbalances in women. These conditions include vulvovaginal atrophy, menopause, postmenopausal osteoporosis, uterine fibroids, and hypoestrogenism. The formulation contains two key active ingredients: Estradiol and Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).

Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female hormone primarily produced by the ovaries. It plays a crucial role in managing symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Estradiol also contributes to the overall health of the female reproductive system and helps maintain bone density, thereby reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It also aids in alleviating menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. Additionally, DHEA has been found to help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and uterine fibroids, further enhancing its therapeutic value in this formulation.

The combination of estradiol and DHEA in this vaginal suppository provides a comprehensive approach to managing the symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy, menopause, postmenopausal osteoporosis, uterine fibroids, and hypoestrogenism. This formulation is designed to dissolve or melt once inserted into the vagina, allowing for local or systemic absorption of the medication.

It is important to note that this formulation should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to potential risks. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Estradiol 5 mcg/Dehydroepiandrosterone 3 mg Vaginal Suppository is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions associated with menopause, postmenopausal osteoporosis, uterine fibroids, hypoestrogenism, and vulvovaginal atrophy. The formulation contains two active ingredients: estradiol and dehydroepiandrosterone.

Estradiol, a form of estrogen, works to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Dehydroepiandrosterone, on the other hand, is a hormone that helps to mitigate the symptoms of postmenopausal osteoporosis, including bone loss and fractures.

The combination of these two hormones in this formulation also aids in reducing the symptoms of uterine fibroids, which can include heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. Furthermore, this combination is effective in addressing hypoestrogenism symptoms, such as vaginal dryness and hot flashes.

Lastly, the Estradiol 5 mcg/Dehydroepiandrosterone 3 mg Vaginal Suppository is beneficial in managing symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy, which can include vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. This medication is typically administered vaginally, usually once daily.

Lastly, this formulation can also be used to reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections in postmenopausal women.
