Compounded progesterone suppositories prepared to the prescribed strength and schedule
Available by prescription only. Your prescriber decides the ingredients, strength, form, quantity, and directions.
Preparation timing depends on strength, quantity, and ingredient availability.
Step-by-step guide for use, storage, and handling
Progesterone vaginal suppositories are compounded when a prescriber requests progesterone for vaginal use. The prescription determines the strength, quantity, timing, and whether the preparation is part of a fertility or hormone support plan.
These notes are educational and do not replace directions from your prescriber or the label on your prescription.
Progesterone vaginal suppositories contain progesterone in a base that is designed for vaginal insertion. The pharmacy prepares the strength and quantity written by the prescriber.
This dosage form is different from progesterone capsules or topical cream. The prescriber decides which route and schedule fit the treatment plan.
Progesterone suppositories may be prescribed in fertility care, luteal support, or other hormone-related plans. The pharmacy cannot determine from symptoms whether progesterone is appropriate.
Bring timing questions back to your prescriber if the prescription is tied to cycle dates, procedures, lab monitoring, or pregnancy care.
Use the schedule on your prescription label. Wash hands before and after insertion. A liner may be helpful because some melted base can leak after use.
