Micronised Progesterone - What is it for

Micronised progesterone (also known and Utrogestan®) is a type of progestogen that can be used for the following purposes:​

  • Preparing the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg, where the egg sticks to the wall of uterus
  • Maintenance of pregnancy once implantation occurs
  • Enhance implantation of a fertilized egg (routinely used during in vitro fertilization (IVF)) and to decrease the risk of spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)
  • Management of various abnormal uterine bleeding including absence of menstrual flow and heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Management of menopause in combination with estrogen replacement therapy
It is important to use micronised progestogen as directed by your healthcare professional.
