Clinical Information
Take 1 tablet by mouth once daily in the evening. Place the tablet on your tongue and allow it to dissolve before swallowing. You may take it with or without food. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
Progesterone RDT works by replacing the hormone progesterone that is naturally missing in your body. This can help reduce symptoms of menopause like hot flashes, mood swings, and irregular periods. It dissolves quickly in the mouth for rapid absorption.
Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid if you have a history of blood clots, liver disease, breast cancer, or are allergic to progesterone. Not for use in children.
Progesterone may interact with blood thinners like warfarin, making you more prone to bleeding. Also, antibiotics like rifampin can reduce effectiveness. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
Common side effects (may affect 1-10 people out of 100): headache, nausea, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Rare side effects include mood changes and sleep disturbances. Contact your doctor if side effects are severe or persist.
Store at room temperature (68-77°F, 20-25°C) in a dry place. Keep in the original container tightly closed. Avoid storing in bathroom or kitchen. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Dispose of unused tablets at a pharmacy take-back program.
