Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 200 mg Slow Release Capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This design allows for the gradual release of the encapsulated medication over an extended period of time, providing sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

These capsules may interact with other medications, supplements, or herbal products. It is crucial for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are currently taking before starting progesterone. Progesterone may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulants, such as warfarin. It may also interact with certain antibiotics, like rifampin, antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole, certain anti-seizure medications, such as phenytoin, and certain anti-depressants, such as fluoxetine. Interactions may also occur with certain hormones, such as insulin, certain diuretics, such as furosemide, and certain drugs used to treat HIV, such as ritonavir.

Progesterone 200 mg Slow Release Capsules may be used to treat a variety of disease states, including endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, and menopausal symptoms. It may also be used to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women who are taking estrogen. Additionally, it may be used to prevent preterm labor in pregnant women and to treat abnormal uterine bleeding caused by hormonal imbalances.

If you have any questions about how Progesterone 200 mg Slow Release Capsules may interact with other medications, supplements, or herbal products, please consult with your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 200 mg Slow Release Capsules are a hormone replacement therapy designed to treat a variety of conditions, including menopause, premenstrual syndrome, and endometriosis. This formulation is specifically designed with Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer, to gradually release the encapsulated progesterone over an extended period of time. This slow release mechanism offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance, particularly for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

The slow release formulation ensures a steady and consistent level of hormone replacement, which can help alleviate symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Additionally, this formulation is used to help prevent endometrial hyperplasia, a condition where the lining of the uterus becomes excessively thick. By maintaining a consistent level of progesterone, the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and subsequent endometrial cancer can be reduced.

Progesterone 200 mg Slow Release Capsules should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. The capsules are designed to be swallowed whole with a full glass of water, and it is crucial to take them at the same time each day to ensure a consistent level of hormone replacement. As with any medication, it is important to discuss any other medications you are currently taking with your healthcare provider, as there may be potential interactions.

Before starting Progesterone 200 mg Slow Release Capsules, it is essential to have a comprehensive discussion with your healthcare provider. This will allow you to understand how this medication works, how it can help manage your condition, and any potential side effects or interactions. Always reach out to your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about your medication.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
