Directions for use: Wash hands before and after application. Lie on your back, bend your knees, and gently insert the applicator into the vagina. Squeeze the gel out and discard the applicator.

Benefits Compared to Analogues

Comparative Effectiveness: Compared to oral progesterone, vaginal progesterone may have fewer side effects like bloating and mood changes since it bypasses the liver and is directly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Store the gel at room temperature away from direct sunlight and moisture. Check the expiration date on the packaging and do not use the product if expired.
