Progesterone injection 100 mg

What Is Progesterone Injection?

Progesterone injection is a hormonal medication given by intramuscular injection. It contains progesterone, a naturally occurring female sex hormone. Doctors prescribe it when the body cannot produce enough progesterone on its own.

What Does It Contain?

The active ingredient is progesterone, a steroid hormone. It is an oil-based solution given by injection, not taken by mouth.

Who Makes It?

Progesterone injection 100 mg/ml is manufactured by Samarth. Samarth produces this as part of a range of fertility and hormonal medications.

What Is It Used For?

Progesterone injection uses cover several hormone-related conditions. It is most commonly prescribed to support progesterone levels during pregnancy, particularly in women with a history of miscarriage or low progesterone. It also treats irregular menstrual cycles and certain hormone deficiency conditions.

Progesterone injection during pregnancy is one of its most frequent applications in fertility clinics.

How Does It Work?

The Corpus Luteum in the ovary normally produces progesterone. This thickens the uterine lining and prepares it to support a fertilised egg. When natural production is too low, the injection replaces that hormone directly.

It keeps the uterine environment stable. This gives the developing foetus an ongoing supply of hormonal support throughout early pregnancy.

When Should I Take It?

Your doctor will decide the timing based on your treatment plan. In fertility cycles, it is typically started after egg retrieval or ovulation. It is then continued for several weeks. Do not adjust the timing without medical advice. Visit your doctor regularly while using this medication and never miss any scheduled appointments.

What Dose Should I Take?

The progesterone injection dose is 100 mg/ml, given as directed by your prescribing doctor. Frequency of dosage varies. Some patients receive it daily, others every two to three days. Your doctor will set the schedule based on your hormone levels and treatment response.

Do not increase or reduce the dose on your own.

What Are the Side Effects?

Common side effects include:

• Injection site pain or swelling
• Drowsiness or fatigue
• Bloating
• Breast tenderness
• Mood changes
• Headache

If you experience chest pain or sudden shortness of breath after using this injection, stop using it and get emergency medical attention.

Who Should Not Use It?

Progesterone injection is not suitable for everyone. Women with a history of blood clots, liver disease, or certain hormone-sensitive cancers should not use it. Tell your doctor about all medications you are currently taking before starting treatment.

How Should It Be Stored?

Store this injection in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it away from children. Oil-based injectable solutions can become thick or cloudy if exposed to cold. If this happens, warm the vial gently in your hands before use, but never overheat it.

If you miss a dose, do not take a double dose to make up for it. Contact your doctor for instructions on how to proceed.
