What is Progesterone?

Progesterone, the active ingredient in Inprosub, is a progestogen presented as a subcutaneous formulation for injection use. It is employed in hormone therapy to support the endometrium, assist luteal phase support in assisted reproduction, and help reduce the risk of preterm birth in selected women.

GNH USA supplies Inprosub as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides reliable logistics for global distribution. Customers benefit from comprehensive regulatory support and traceability throughout the supply chain.

What is Progesterone used for?

Progesterone, as delivered by Inprosub, is used in several hormone‑related therapeutic pathways. - Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): provides progestogenic support to counterbalance estrogen and protect the endometrium in postmenopausal women. - Luteal phase support in assisted reproductive technology: maintains a receptive endometrial lining to improve implantation rates after embryo transfer. - Prevention of preterm birth in high‑risk pregnancies: reduces the incidence of early labor in women with a short cervix or prior preterm delivery.

What are the side effects of Progesterone?

Progesterone administered via Inprosub may be associated with a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain - Redness or swelling at the injection site - Headache - Nausea - Breast tenderness

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Thromboembolic events (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) - Severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis - Hyperglycemia or worsening diabetes control - Hepatic dysfunction or jaundice

What precautions apply to Progesterone?

When prescribing Inprosub, clinicians should consider several safety precautions. - Assess thromboembolic risk: evaluate history of clotting disorders before use. - Monitor blood pressure: progesterone can influence vascular tone. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reaction occurs. - Use caution in hepatic impairment: adjust therapy if liver function is compromised. - Consider pregnancy status: weigh benefits against potential fetal effects. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Progesterone interact with?

Progesterone can interact with other medicines, affecting efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding. - Hormonal contraceptives: may alter combined hormone levels. - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin): reduce progesterone effectiveness. - CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): raise progesterone concentrations. - Estrogen therapy: heightened risk of thromboembolic events.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antidiabetic agents: progesterone may affect glucose control. - Corticosteroids: potential additive effect on adrenal axis. - Lithium: monitor serum lithium levels. - Phenobarbital: may diminish progesterone action. - SSRIs: possible mood alterations.

Frequently asked questions

What is Inprosub used for?+
Inprosub is a subcutaneous progesterone preparation used in hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, as luteal phase support in assisted reproductive technology, and to help prevent preterm birth in women at high risk of early labor.
How does progesterone work?+
Progesterone binds to intracellular progesterone receptors, forming a complex that regulates gene transcription. This promotes a secretory endometrium, suppresses gonadotropin release, reduces uterine contractility, and supports pregnancy maintenance.
What is the usual dose of Inprosub?+
The dosage of Inprosub is individualized and set by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, patient characteristics, and therapeutic goals. No standard dose is provided in public product information.
Is Inprosub safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Progesterone is a hormone naturally present in pregnancy, but the safety of subcutaneous progesterone formulations during pregnancy or lactation depends on clinical judgment. Prescribers weigh potential benefits against any uncertain risks before use.
How do I order Inprosub from GNH USA?+
To order Inprosub, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain if needed) and import documentation.
How does Inprosub compare with other progesterone products?+
Inprosub is a subcutaneous injectable form, offering rapid systemic absorption compared with oral or vaginal progesterone preparations. This route can provide more consistent plasma levels, which is advantageous for luteal support and certain high‑risk obstetric indications, while oral forms may be preferred for convenience in chronic hormone therapy.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Inprosub?+
Inprosub should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature fluctuations to maintain stability and potency.
How is Inprosub administered?+
Inprosub is given by subcutaneous injection, typically into the abdominal wall or thigh. Healthcare professionals should follow aseptic technique, use the appropriate needle size, and rotate injection sites to minimize local irritation.
What are the most serious risks associated with Inprosub?+
The most serious risks include thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, hyperglycemia in diabetic patients, and hepatic dysfunction. Patients should be monitored closely for any signs of these conditions.
Who should not use Inprosub?+
Inprosub is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to progesterone or any excipients, those with active thromboembolic disease, uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver impairment, or in situations where progesterone therapy is medically inadvisable as determined by the prescriber.
