What is Progesterone?
Active Ingredients: Progesterone
Progesterone Injection is a drug used to replace the hormone progesterone when the body does not make enough of it. It is typically used for amenorrhea in women who are not pregnant or have gone through menopause. Progesterone is also used to treat abdominal uterine bleeding caused by low hormone levels.
Progesterone is classified as a progestin. It is a synthetic version of the natural hormone Progestin.
