Pro-Gest is a progesterone cream used as a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Pro-Gest works by supplementing the body's natural levels of progesterone, a hormone that plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. By restoring hormonal balance, Pro-Gest can help reduce menopausal symptoms.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Pro-Gest is typically applied topically to the skin. The recommended dosage and application areas can vary, so it is important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare provider or the product packaging.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Some users of Pro-Gest may experience side effects, including skin irritation at the application site, headaches, or nausea. If severe side effects occur, it is advised to consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before using Pro-Gest, individuals should discuss their medical history with a healthcare provider, especially if they have a history of breast cancer, liver disease, or blood clots.
