Description

Indications

Progesterone is classified as a progestin hormone. This pharmaceutical agent closely resembles the naturally occurring progesterone produced within your body. Its administration is aimed at supplementing the hormone when your body is deficient in producing an adequate amount. In women who are not currently pregnant and have not yet entered menopause, this medication serves to reinstate regular menstrual cycles that have ceased for an extended duration.

Uses and Dosage

Administered through intramuscular injection, this medication should be used according to your doctor’s guidance, typically once daily. The treatment regimen generally spans 6 to 8 days. The prescribed dosage hinges on your medical condition and your response to the treatment.

If you’re self-administering this medication at home, familiarize yourself with all preparation and usage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Before usage, visually inspect the product for any particles or unusual discoloration. If you notice either of these, refrain from using the liquid. Additionally, gain an understanding of proper storage and the safe disposal of medical supplies.

Before injecting each dose, cleanse the injection site with rubbing alcohol. To avoid creating problem areas in the muscle, be sure to change the injection site daily.

In order to reap the most benefits from this medication, use it consistently and adhere to a regular schedule. To facilitate adherence, administer it at the same time each day.
