 How it works

• Progestrone is a natural hormone in women that is important for keeping the menstrual cycle regular and supporting pregnancy.
• It gets the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) ready for a fertilized egg to implant.
• It helps keep the lining of the uterus healthy during pregnancy and stops contractions that could lead to miscarriage.
• It balances the effects of estrogen, which is good for your reproductive and menstrual health.

Medicine Interaction

• Stay away from or use with care:
• Anticonvulsants like phenytoin and carbamazepine make progesterone less effective.
• Antibiotics (rifampicin) may cause hormone levels to drop.
• Antifungal drugs like ketoconazole raise progesterone levels, which makes side effects more likely.
• Blood thinners (warfarin) may change how long it takes for blood to clot.
• Herbal medications like St. John's Wort help lessen its effects.
• Always tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you are taking.

 How to Use

• Oral capsule: Take it whole with water, ideally before bed.
• Vaginal route: Follow your doctor's instructions and insert thoroughly into the vagina, usually once a day.
• Do not chew or shatter the capsule.
• Even if your symptoms get better quickly, you should follow the whole course.
• Keep it out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry area.
