Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules, a meticulously compounded formulation designed to address a range of conditions associated with female reproductive health. Progesterone, a crucial hormone in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, is used in the treatment of various conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, menopausal symptoms, and abnormal uterine bleeding.

Our Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative design allows for a gradual release of the encapsulated progesterone over an extended period, ensuring a sustained therapeutic effect. This slow and steady release of progesterone into the body allows for a more consistent level of the hormone in the bloodstream, making it an ideal choice for those who need to maintain a steady level of progesterone in their body.

The slow release of progesterone not only offers a reduced dosing frequency but also improves patient compliance, especially for those requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile. This formulation helps to mitigate the risk of side effects commonly associated with other forms of progesterone, such as nausea, headaches, and breast tenderness. Furthermore, the slow release of progesterone helps to reduce the risk of breakthrough bleeding, a common side effect of other forms of progesterone.

If you have any questions about our Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules or how they can help treat conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, menopausal symptoms, or abnormal uterine bleeding, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the information and support you need.

Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specialized compounded formulation designed to provide a controlled and prolonged release of the hormone progesterone. This formulation utilizes Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer, which ensures the gradual release of the active ingredient over an extended period. This slow release mechanism offers sustained therapeutic effects, reduces the frequency of dosing, and enhances patient compliance, particularly for medications requiring a controlled release profile.

These capsules are primarily used to treat a variety of conditions related to hormonal imbalances and disorders. These include endometriosis, a condition characterized by the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, leading to pain and other symptoms. Progesterone helps alleviate these symptoms by reducing the pain and other discomforts associated with endometriosis.

Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules are also effective in treating uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and other symptoms. The hormone progesterone aids in reducing the size of these fibroids and alleviating the associated symptoms.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition where the ovaries produce excessive amounts of the hormone androgen, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and other symptoms, can also be managed with this formulation. Progesterone helps to balance the hormonal levels, thereby reducing the symptoms associated with this condition.

Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness can be significantly relieved with the use of Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules. Furthermore, this formulation is beneficial in managing abnormal uterine bleeding, a condition characterized by irregular or heavy menstrual cycles. Progesterone aids in regulating the menstrual cycle and reducing the amount of bleeding.

If you have any questions about using Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules to treat any of these conditions, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

In the treatment of endometriosis, progesterone helps to reduce the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, alleviating pain and other symptoms. For uterine fibroids, progesterone aids in reducing the size of the fibroids and can help alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding. In cases of polycystic ovary syndrome, progesterone helps regulate the menstrual cycle and can help reduce symptoms such as acne and excess hair growth. For menopausal symptoms, progesterone helps reduce hot flashes and night sweats. For abnormal uterine bleeding, progesterone helps regulate the menstrual cycle and can help reduce heavy bleeding.

Progesterone 400 mg Slow Release Capsules should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to take the capsules at the same time each day to ensure a consistent level of the hormone in the body.

They can also be used to prevent recurrent miscarriages and to manage postpartum depression, providing much-needed hormonal support during these challenging times.

For women struggling with infertility due to luteal phase defect or anovulation, these capsules can be used to induce ovulation, supporting the chances of conception. In cases where there is a history of recurrent miscarriages, progesterone can be used to support a pregnancy, providing the necessary hormonal balance for a successful term.

These capsules also play a crucial role in reducing the risk of preterm labor in women with a history of such labor. They can also be used to mitigate the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women taking estrogen without progesterone, providing a protective effect on the endometrium.
