How to Take Progesterone

Progesterone capsules are taken by mouth at bedtime. Taking progesterone at night helps minimize daytime drowsiness, which is a common side effect.

How to Take It

Take 1 capsule by mouth at bedtime, on an empty stomach (at least 2 hours after your last meal). Swallow with water. Taking it on an empty stomach improves absorption.

Dosing

First fulfillment: Start at 100 mg at bedtime for 10 days, then increase to 200 mg at bedtime. This titration gives your body time to adjust.

• Ongoing fulfillments: 200 mg capsule at bedtime (standard maintenance dose)
• Maximum dose: 400 mg daily
• Available doses: 100 mg or 200 mg capsules

Dose Adjustments

Dose changes may be requested only after 90 days on your current dosage if no benefits have been reported. All changes are at the discretion of your prescriber.
