Benefits of Prometrium

Prometrium, a natural progesterone, is an FDA-approved, prescription hormonal therapy. As the only orally administered progesterone, Prometrium is easily absorbed and processed by the body. Primarily prescribed to balance the effects of estrogen, Prometrium may have additional benefits and is prescribed to treat a number of symptoms.

Balances Estrogen

• Prometrium balances the effects of taking estrogen. It prevents the overgrowth of cells and protects the lining of the uterus, especially in women near or during their menopausal years, and thus reduces the risk of cancer in the uterus.

PMS Relief

• Prometrium, as a progesterone, may provide relief from premenstrual syndrome and painful menstruation.

Controls Bleeding

• Prometrium may bring abnormal menstrual bleeding under control and restore bone health.

Side Effects

• Side effects include dizziness, vaginal discharge, tenderness of the breast, bloating, blurred vision and mood swings.

Contraindications

• Prometrium is not recommended for women in the cases of pregnancy, liver conditions, pulmonary embolism, vein thrombosis, a history of stroke or heart attack, breast cancer or allergies to the Prometrium ingredients, such as peanut oil.
