This topical cream contains 200 mg/ml of progesterone, a vital hormone that plays a significant role in regulating the menstrual cycle and other reproductive functions.

This formulation is primarily used to manage conditions such as endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome, and symptoms associated with menopause. Additionally, it can be utilized to help regulate the menstrual cycle and potentially decrease the risk of miscarriage. However, it is crucial to note that this medication should not be used during pregnancy.

The Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, making it easy and convenient for users. This semisolid preparation is designed for controlled application on the skin, allowing for localized treatment and efficient absorption of the active ingredients. It is essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

Before starting this medication, it is crucial to have a comprehensive discussion with your healthcare provider about the potential risks and benefits.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation, dispensed via a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is designed for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients, specifically for the management of various disease states such as menopausal symptoms, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids.

It is crucial to note that this formulation is not recommended for use in pregnant women due to potential harm to the fetus. Patients should also be vigilant for signs of hyperprolactinemia, a condition that can occur with the use of progesterone. This condition can cause symptoms such as unexpected milk production, missed or irregular periods, and decreased sex drive.

Furthermore, this formulation may cause skin irritation. Patients should monitor for any signs of redness, itching, or burning. If any of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider.

Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, and certain antibiotics. Therefore, it is essential for patients to inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are currently taking prior to using this formulation.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as menopausal symptoms, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. This semisolid preparation is dispensed via a pump mechanism, ensuring a convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredient, progesterone.

The cream is typically applied to the skin in areas such as the abdomen, upper arms, or thighs. Once applied, it is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream, where it works to regulate hormone levels and alleviate symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions.

When using Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. The cream is generally applied once or twice daily, depending on the specific condition being treated. Consistency is key, so applying the cream at the same time each day is recommended to maintain steady levels of progesterone in the body. It is also advised to avoid applying the cream to broken or irritated skin to prevent any potential complications.

Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream can significantly reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Additionally, it can alleviate the pain and bleeding associated with endometriosis and uterine fibroids, providing relief for those suffering from these conditions.

If you have any queries or concerns about using Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream, don't hesitate to reach out.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 200 mg/ml Topical Cream is a semisolid preparation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism, designed for easy and controlled application on the skin. This formulation is primarily used for the localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients.

Progesterone cream can also be used to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer in women who have not had a hysterectomy. However, it is important to note that progesterone cream should not be used in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have any questions about the use of progesterone cream for any of these conditions, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.

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.
