Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This topical cream is a compounded formulation that combines Metformin HCl 2%, Spironolactone 2%, Testosterone 0.05%, and Progesterone 5%. It is specifically designed to treat a range of conditions including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Acne, Hirsutism, Androgen Excess, and Hypogonadism. The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application on the skin, allowing for localized treatment and absorption of the active ingredients.

Metformin HCl is an anti-diabetic medication that works by reducing insulin resistance and lowering blood sugar levels. It is particularly effective in treating PCOS, helping to alleviate symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and hirsutism.

Spironolactone, a diuretic, is included in the formulation to help reduce androgen levels in the body. This makes it a useful treatment for conditions like PCOS, acne, hirsutism, and androgen excess.

The cream also contains Testosterone, a male hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating sexual development and reproductive function. It is used in this formulation to treat hypogonadism, a condition characterized by the body's insufficient production of testosterone.

Progesterone, a female hormone that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the body for pregnancy, is also part of this formulation. Like Metformin HCl and Spironolactone, Progesterone is effective in treating PCOS and its associated symptoms.

This compounded formulation of Metformin HCl, Spironolactone, Testosterone, and Progesterone in a topical cream form offers an effective treatment for PCOS, Acne, Hirsutism, Androgen Excess, and Hypogonadism. If you have any questions or need further information about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This unique combination of medications is used to treat a variety of conditions including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Acne, Hirsutism, Androgen Excess, and Hypogonadism.

Metformin HCl is an oral antihyperglycemic agent that is used to treat PCOS. It is believed to enhance insulin sensitivity and decrease androgen levels. Spironolactone, an aldosterone antagonist, is used to treat PCOS, Acne, Hirsutism, and Androgen Excess. It functions by inhibiting the action of androgens, hormones that can lead to excessive hair growth and acne. Testosterone, a male hormone, is used to treat Hypogonadism, a condition characterized by the body's insufficient production of testosterone. Progesterone, a female hormone, is used to treat PCOS, Acne, and Androgen Excess. Similar to Spironolactone, it works by blocking the action of androgens.

While this combination of medications can be effective in treating the aforementioned conditions, it is crucial to use this medication under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Regular monitoring for potential adverse effects such as changes in blood sugar levels, electrolyte imbalances, and alterations in blood pressure is necessary. Additionally, patients should be aware of the potential for drug interactions with other medications they may be taking. Always consult with a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use.
