Patient Education

Progesterone


Progesterone is used along with estrogen therapy to manage symptoms of menopause. Combination of estrogen and progesterone used during menopause is called menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). Progesterone is also used to produce a period in women who have amenorrhea (absence of periods). Progesterone is in a class of medications called progestins (female hormones). It works as part of hormone replacement therapy by decreasing the amount of estrogen in the uterus. It works to bring on menstruation by replacing the natural progesterone that some women are lacking.

Progestin-Only (norethindrone) Oral Contraceptives


Progestin-only (norethindrone) oral contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy. Progestin is a female hormone. It works by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation) and changing the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus. Progestin-only (norethindrone) oral contraceptives are a very effective method of birth control, but they do not prevent the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
