Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Progesterone 400 mg Suppository is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of conditions related to hormonal imbalances. This hormone replacement therapy works by restoring the body's natural progesterone levels. Progesterone, a hormone produced by the ovaries, plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, fertility, and pregnancy.

This suppository is used to treat a variety of conditions including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, premenstrual syndrome, and menopausal symptoms. It is also used to support fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. The medication is administered vaginally, allowing for direct absorption into the bloodstream. It is available in various strengths and dosage forms to cater to individual patient needs.

Progesterone 400 mg Suppository is inserted into the vagina, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. This allows for local or systemic absorption, depending on the treatment requirements. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

Generally, Progesterone 400 mg Suppository is well tolerated by most patients, with few reported side effects. However, some individuals may experience common side effects such as nausea, headache, and breast tenderness. It is essential to discuss any potential side effects with your healthcare provider before starting treatment to ensure you are fully informed 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.
