When deciding whether or not to use a medicine, the good it will do must be weighed against its risks. You and your doctor will decide what to do. For the medicine, you should think about the following:
Allergies
Tell your doctor if you have ever had an unusual or allergic reaction to this or any other medicine. Tell your doctor or nurse if you are allergic to anything else, like foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. Read the label or package carefully to find out what is in non-prescription products.
Pediatric
Progesterone is not something that should be used in children. Safety and effectiveness have not been proven.
Geriatric
Even though there haven’t been any studies on how age affects how progesterone works in older people, there haven’t been any unique problems. But older people are more likely to have breast cancer, a stroke, or dementia, which may mean that progesterone patients should be careful.
Breastfeeding
Studies on women show that using the medicine while breastfeeding doesn’t put the baby at much risk.
How to Use
You must only take the medicine as your doctor tells you. Please do not take more, take it more often, or take it for longer than your doctor told you to. This could make things worse than they need to be.
The medicine comes with a leaflet that tells the patient about it. Carefully read the brochure and do what it says to do. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
When a woman goes through menopause, she will get this and estrogen medicine. Pay close attention to how your doctor tells you to take both medications.
If the medicine is hard to swallow, take it with a glass of water while standing up. If this doesn’t help, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
