Utrogestan Dosage/Direction for Use

In all events, the patient should strictly comply to the doctor's prescription.
The patient should not take more than 200 mg per intake (two 100 mg capsules or one 200 mg capsule), by oral or vaginal route.
On average for progesterone insufficiencies, the daily dose is 200 to 300 mg divided into one or two intakes, 100 mg in the morning, and 100 mg or 200 mg at bedtime.
In some cases, notably to help pregnancy, the doctor may have to increase the dose to 600 mg per day, divided into three intakes.
If the patient has the impression that the treatment is too strong or too weak, talk to the doctor or pharmacist.
Treatment however may be prescribed continuously, or sequentially for some days per month, and possibly associated with estrogen therapy.
Two routes of administration are possible, oral and vaginal. This will be decided according to the individual basis by the doctor.
If the medicine is to be administered orally: swallow the capsule(s) with a glass of water far from mealtimes, in one to three intakes, following the doctor's prescription.
If the medicine is to be administered vaginally: insert each capsule deeply in the vagina.
The duration of the treatment will be specified by the doctor, according to the case.
The duration of treatment may be readjusted by the doctor depending on the indication and efficacy of treatment.
If the patient takes more UTROGESTAN than they should: Talk to the doctor or pharmacist immediately.
If the patient forgets to take UTROGESTAN: Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten individual dose.
