Understanding Progesterone: Your Hormonal Harmony Keeper
Progesterone is a vital female sex hormone and progestin medication that plays a crucial role in women's reproductive health. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition under Sex Hormones and Antagonists, it is recognized by the Department of Health as a critical treatment for menstrual disorders, fertility support, and hormone replacement therapy.

How Progesterone Works (Simple Explanation)
Think of progesterone as your body's "pregnancy protector" and "cycle regulator." Naturally produced by the ovaries after ovulation, this hormone:

Prepares the uterine lining (endometrium) for pregnancy implantation
Maintains pregnancy by preventing uterine contractions
Regulates menstrual cycles and reduces PMS symptoms
Balances estrogen effects during menopause
Supports luteal phase in fertility treatments and IVF

When your body doesn't produce enough progesterone (luteal phase defect), supplementation helps restore hormonal balance.

Safety & Side Effects: What to Watch For ⚠︎
Most patients tolerate Progesterone well, but be a smart medicine user:

Common: Drowsiness, dizziness, headache, breast tenderness, nausea, bloating—usually temporary as your body adjusts
Watch For: Severe allergic reactions, unusual vaginal bleeding, signs of blood clots (leg pain, chest pain, shortness of breath), depression, or jaundice. Contact our doctor immediately if these occur
Important: Do not use if you have severe liver disease, known hypersensitivity, or undiagnosed vaginal bleeding. Always inform your doctor about all medications you're taking
Pregnancy Note: Safe for pregnancy support when prescribed, but requires monitoring by OB-GYN
Drug Interactions: May interact with blood thinners (reduces anticoagulant effect), diabetes medications, and other hormones. Full disclosure during teleconsultation is essential

Remember: Progesterone is a prescription-only hormone medication. Self-medication can disrupt your menstrual cycle or mask underlying conditions. Always consult with our licensed doctor via free teleconsultation before starting treatment.
