Progesterone is a natural, female sex hormone, produced in the body. It works by adjusting the hormonal balance within the body for the treatment of:
• pre-menstrual syndrome which often affects women during the 7 to 10 days before their monthly period.
• post-natal depression which some women get after their baby has been born.

• are allergic to progesterone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine,
• have unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been evaluated by the doctor,
• have known or suspected tumor that is hormone sensitive,
• have porphyria disorders (a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes),
• have or have had blood clots in the legs, lungs, eyes or elsewhere in the body,
• currently have or have had severe liver problems.
• have a miscarriage and your physician suspects some tissue is still in the uterus or pregnancy outside of the womb.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using Progesterone if you have or ever have had:
• liver problems such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)
• epilepsy
