Clinical Information
Evidence-based details for healthcare providers
Apply a thin layer of cream to clean, dry skin on the inner forearm, thigh, or wrist. Use as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily. Do not apply more than instructed. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember unless it's near the time for your next dose. Wait at least 8 hours between applications.
Progesterone cream provides your body with bioidentical progesterone, a hormone that helps balance estrogen levels. It acts by mimicking the natural hormone in your body, aiding in menstrual cycle regulation and reducing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. It may take several weeks to notice improvement.
Do not use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, unless directed by a healthcare provider. Do not use if you have a history of breast cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or severe liver disease. Avoid if allergic to progesterone or any of the cream's ingredients.
Progesterone cream may interact with certain medications like blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), some antifungal drugs, and seizure medications. Inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you take. Avoid using other topical products on the same application area to prevent interfering with absorption.
Common side effects (affecting 1-10 in 100): skin irritation at the application site, headache, mood swings. Uncommon side effects: breast tenderness, muscle pain, dizziness. Contact your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent. Most side effects tend to improve once your body adjusts to the hormone levels.
Store at room temperature (68-77°F, 20-25°C) in the original tube. Keep away from moisture, heat, and direct light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep tightly closed when not in use. Use within 6 months of opening. Dispose of unused cream through pharmacy take-back programs or mix with coffee grounds in a sealed bag before discarding.
