What is Endometrin
Progesterone
The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone in women that helps with fertility, implantation of the embryo, and maintaining a successful pregnancy. Low progesterone levels or an insufficient response to progesterone can cause infertility and pregnancy loss. Progesterone is also used in various contraceptive preparations to prevent ovulation and fertilization as well as other formulations to support pregnancy. The pharmaceutical form of progesterone is a chemically identical copy of the human ovarian form and is available in various forms like capsules, gel, tablets, inserts, and injections.

How Endometrin Affects Patients
Progesterone is a hormone that can have different effects depending on concentration and how it is taken. In general, it helps the uterus prepare for pregnancy and prevents ovulation. Progesterone is taken orally as a capsule, applied as a gel or insert vaginally, injected intramuscularly, or taken as a contraceptive tablet. When taken as a capsule, it opposes the effects of estrogen, decreases and thickens cervical mucous, and helps the endometrium become more suitable for a growing embryo. When applied vaginally, it mimics the effects of naturally occurring progesterone and helps develop decidual tissue
How Endometrin works in the body
Progesterone binds to its own special receptor inside cells. This receptor helps signals to maintain the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus. Progesterone also changes the cervical mucus, making it hard for sperm to swim through. It also stops follicle-stimulating hormone, which can cause ovulation. When used perfectly, it has a 0.5% failure rate at preventing pregnancy. If used normally, the failure rate is estimated to be 5%.
When to interrupt dosage
The measure of Endometrin is contingent upon the established disorder, including hormonal discrepancy, Female Infertility and Postmenopause. The amount of dosage is subject to the technique of delivery, as specified in the table beneath.

Endometrin Toxicity & Overdose Risk
The toxic dose of progesterone for rats is 327 mg/kg. While some forms of progesterone can be used during pregnancy, high doses can affect fertility and cause tumors in animals. Some studies have suggested that using combined oral contraceptives may increase the risk of breast cancer, but no clear evidence has been found for progestin-only contraceptives. Progesterone can be found in breast milk, but it does not appear to negatively affect babies. However, there have been isolated cases of decreased milk production reported.

Patient Q&A Section about endometrin
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
Does Endometrin help you stay pregnant?
"This medication contains a female hormone called progesterone. Progesterone and other hormones help you become and stay pregnant. This medication is used to increase the level of progesterone in women taking fertility treatments because these treatments tend to decrease progesterone levels."
Answered by AI
How far do you insert Endometrin?
"Wash your hands before and after you insert the Endometrin (progesterone). Take the applicator out of the packaging, and put the insert into the space on the thin end of the applicator. Put the applicator into your vagina as far as you can comfortably, and press the plunger to release the insert. Get rid of the applicator after each use."
Answered by AI
What does Endometrin do for pregnancy?
"ENDOMETRIN is a medication that helps support embryo implantation and early pregnancy. It is given as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment program for infertile women."
Answered by AI
What happens when you insert Endometrin?
"To insert the Endometrin tablet, open the individually wrapped packaging and remove the tablet. With the tablet placed on the applicator, insert it into the vagina as far as it will comfortably go and press the plunger to release the tablet. Endometrin is available in three different doses, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 300 mg.
Once the tablet is inserted into the vagina, it quickly dissolves and is available to be absorbed into the circulation to be taken to the uterus. Each Endometrin insert and applicator come individually wrapped within the Endometrin box.
