Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Estriol 0.5%/Testosterone 0.5% Vaginal Gel is a compounded formulation specifically designed for the treatment of various gynecological conditions such as Atrophic Vaginitis, Vulvovaginal Atrophy, Dyspareunia, Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause, and Lichen Sclerosus. This unique combination of Estriol, a weak estrogen, and Testosterone, a hormone known to improve libido and sexual function, works synergistically to alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions.

Estriol aids in reducing inflammation and enhancing the integrity of the vaginal mucosa, thereby providing relief from symptoms such as vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. Testosterone, on the other hand, contributes to improved sexual function and libido. Together, these active ingredients not only provide symptomatic relief but also help reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections, a common complication associated with these conditions.

The gel is designed for intravaginal application, ensuring targeted delivery of the medication. It should be applied once daily for a period of up to 12 weeks. During this treatment period, patients should be closely monitored for any signs of estrogen-related adverse effects such as breast tenderness, nausea, and headache, as well as testosterone-related adverse effects like acne, hirsutism, and deepening of the voice. In case of any such adverse effects, it is recommended to adjust the dose or discontinue the medication as necessary.

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.
