About Progesterone (generic Prometrium)
How does it work?
Progesterone works by helping balance estrogen in the body. This supports a regular menstrual cycle, calms the uterus, supports pregnancy, and may improve sleep and mood. Progesterone also helps protect the uterus when estrogen levels are higher.
What does it treat?
Progesterone treats hormone imbalance, irregular periods and symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and trouble sleeping. It is also used to protect the uterus in people taking estrogen. In some cases, it also supports early pregnancy.
What forms does it come in?
Progesterone comes in several forms, including pills taken by mouth, creams or gels used on the skin and vaginal capsules or suppositories. The form you use depends on your health needs and what your licensed provider recommends.
Please note that Progesterone creams, gels, vaginal suppositories and capsules are not available on the Dr. B platform at this time.
