Product Details

How to use Prometrium

As part of a menopausal hormone therapy, a woman with uterus who is taking estrogens should take a single daily dose of 200 mg Prometrium Capsules at bedtime for 12-14 continuous days during a 28-day cycle. It is important to follow the recommended usage instructions for Prometrium to achieve the best results. Take the capsule orally, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is generally advised to take Prometrium at bedtime to minimize potential side effects like dizziness or drowsiness and to contribute to better sleep. Stick to a consistent schedule and take the medication at the same time every day for maximum effectiveness.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it’s almost time for the next dose, only take that dose. Taking two doses at the same time is not recommended.

  • Dizziness
  • Headache

What is Prometrium?

Prometrium is a widely recognized medication that offers effective relief for certain menopause symptoms. This prescription medication is progesterone, a natural hormone that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports a healthy reproductive system.

During the menopause transition progesterone and estrogen levels start to fall, leading to hot flashes, mood swings, lack of sleep and other known menopausal symptoms. If your body is no longer producing enough progesterone your doctor may prescribe Prometrium as part of a Menopausal Hormone Therapy.

This medication is used in combination with estrogen-containing medications in postmenopausal women who have a uterus (womb). Taking estrogen alone increases the risk of developing a condition called endometrial hyperplasia, which may lead to uterine (womb) cancer. So adding a progestin is generally advised for women with a uterus to reduce the chance of developing uterine cancer.

Prometrium can be also prescribed for managing secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods in women who have previously had a menstrual period) caused by low levels of progesterone. Insufficient progesterone production can lead to menstrual irregularities. If your healthcare provider determines that your body doesn’t produce enough progesterone naturally, Prometrium may be recommended to supplement the required progesterone.
