Progesterone is essential for maintaining a pregnancy and should be supplemented in women who successfully conceive following assisted reproductive technologies. The capsules and suppositories dissolve in the vagina and form a coating on the walls that allows the absorption of progesterone. Administered directly into the vagina. Since progesterone is administered through the vagina; the amount of drug circulating in the bloodstream is minimal. Progesterone is generally well tolerated. The most frequent side effects are breast enlargement, constipation, sleepiness, nausea, cramps, breast pain, and headache.

Progesterone should not be used if there is a known sensitivity to the product, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, liver dysfunction or disease, known or suspected malignancy of the breast or genital organs, missed abortion, active thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders or a history of hormone-associated thrombophlebitis. Do not use progesterone if you are allergic to progesterone, progesterone-like drugs, or any of the inactive ingredients in the capsules or suppositories, you have unusual vaginal bleeding, you have liver disease, you have known or suspected cancer of the breast or genital organs, you have a miscarriage and your physician suspects some tissue is still in the uterus or you have or have had blood clots in the legs, lungs, eyes, or elsewhere. Capsules and suppositories should not be left in areas of extreme temperatures, such as a hot car. The medication should be stored at room temperature below 77° F (25° C).
