utrogestan

[Stomach2024]

I heard that utrogestan can be used vaginally. I take 100mg tablet every night. Just wondering if I can take it vaginally every other days or I have to take it vaginally everyday?

🙂 Local progesterone – released into the vagina or womb

Another way to take progesterone is to insert the tablet vaginally, at nighttime. This then works locally near your womb, where it is needed, and is not digested or absorbed into your whole body, so there is less chance of side effects. The dose of using progesterone this way is half the oral dose (so, for example, you can use one 100mg Utrogestan capsule vaginally alternate evenings). While the drug is not licensed to take in this way, it is perfectly safe to do so and there is good evidence to support its use

There are progesterone pessaries available, such as Cyclogest or Lutigest, (more commonly used as part of fertility treatments) that contain progesterone and are specifically designed as vaginal pessaries. Some women find these preferable to use, instead of the Utrogestan vaginally.
