 How it works

• Progesterone is a natural female sex hormone that is important for the health of the menstrual cycle and reproduction.
• It keeps the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) stable so that a fertilized egg can implant and the pregnancy can continue.
• It stops the uterus from contracting, which could cause a miscarriage.
• When taken for hormone replacement therapy (HRT), it balances the effects of estrogen on the uterus and lowers the chance of endometrial hyperplasia.

Medicine Interaction

• Be careful when using or tell your doctor if you are taking:
• Anticonvulsants like phenytoin and carbamazepine make progesterone less effective.
• Antibiotics (rifampicin) may lower hormone levels.
• Antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole) make the negative effects of progesterone worse.
• Blood thinners (like warfarin) change how long it takes for blood to clot.
• Herbal medicines, like St. John's Wort, lower the activity of progesterone.
• Always tell your doctor about any additional drugs, vitamins, or herbs you are taking.

 How to Use

• Oral capsule: Take it whole with water, ideally before bed.
• For vaginal use, use clean, dry hands to insert the capsule thoroughly into the vagina once a day or as directed.
