What is progesterone cream?
Progesterone cream is applied to the skin or used vaginally, depending on the prescription. Your provider sets the strength and schedule.
Why is it compounded?
There is no FDA-approved progesterone cream for use on the skin in the United States, so it is prepared by a compounding pharmacy.
