How much progesterone please

[Orangesandlemons77]

How much vaginal progesterone for two pumps daily of oestrogel please.

Also my prescription has changed from Ultrogestan to general progesterone is this still ok vaginally please.

Surely your GP is the person to ask, rather than on here. Otherwise speak to a pharmacist for professional advice.

I don’t think the generic progesterone is ok as it has a different coating that affects absorbency. The dose of it depends on whether you’re on a sequi or continuous regime. Speak to your pharmacist

The NHS only seem to prescribe the generic one now. I don't think the GP will advise as it is off-label but I will ask.

Was it cyclogest ?
I was on this as couldn’t take oral progesterone and also couldn’t tolerate the synthetic version .
I was on 200 for 12-14 days

@Orangesandlemons77 It's the same amount as for oral use.
200mgs (2 capsules) on a cycle for 12 days, 100mgs daily if using it daily.

The generic version are the same. (Just as Ibuprofen is the same as branded Nurofen.)

The British Menopause Society has a very detailed guidance on this and they say use the same amount. I've left the link loads, so you might be able to find it with a search BMS / endometrial protection/ HRT

Great, thanks hopefully this will allow me to continue with the weight loss meds
