| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Progesterone is a hormone that maintains pregnancy. It is essential for embryo formation, development and survival in almost all mammals. This hormone exhibits its action via progesterone receptor, which is specifically expressed in the endometrial stroma throughout pregnancy. It is known to prevent preterm delivery, when administered intramuscularly. Progesterone also controls gonadotropin secretion, activates sexual behavior and triggers ovarian events leading to ovulation. It stimulates the growth and differentiation of the uterus and prevents uterine contractility. |
| General description: | Progesterone is a steroid hormone secreted by the ovaries. |
| Other Notes: | Contains approx. 70 mg progesterone per gram; balance methyl-β-cyclodextrin. |
