Prometrium


Generic Name: Progesterone Capsules (pro-JESS-ter-ohn)
Brand Name: Prometrium

Prometrium should not be used in combination with estrogen to prevent heart disease. Prometrium taken in combination with estrogen can increase the risk of heart disease (including heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg (deep venous thrombosis), breast cancer, or dementia. This combination may also increase the risk of cancer of the ovary. These risks appear to depend on the length of time this combination of medicine is used and the amount of estrogen per dose. Therefore, the combination of estrogen and Prometrium should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose, so you obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects for long-term treatment. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.


Prometrium is used for:

Protecting the lining of the uterus in women on estrogen replacement therapy. It is also used to treat women who have had menstrual periods in the past but have stopped having them because of a lack of progesterone hormone.
