How To Use
  • Prometrium is taken by mouth.
  • The dosing depends on your medical condition and response to therapy.
  • Follow your doctor s orders carefully.
  • If taking twice daily, the morning dose should be taken 2 hours after breakfast.

Side Effects
  • Stomach upset, cramps, breast tenderness, drowsiness or dizziness may occur.
  • If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly.
  • Report promptly: abnormal vaginal bleeding.
  • Unlikely but report promptly: yellowing of the eyes or skin, itching, rash, mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, memory loss), pain/swelling in the legs, chest pain, vision problems, breathing problems.
  • Very unlikely but report promptly: a migraine-type headache.
  • Darkened patches of skin occasionally occur.
  • Use a sunscreen and protective clothing to minimize this effect if it occurs.
  • If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
  • Tell your doctor your medical history (and family history), especially of: allergies (especially to drugs or peanuts), heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, abnormal vaginal bleeding, cancer, blood clots/blood vessel problems, strokes, missed abortion, any conditions you had that worsened because of pregnancy or sex steroid use (e.g., norethindrone, progesterone).
  • Two-drug combination hormone replacement therapy (estrogen and progestin menopause HRT) can infrequently cause cancer of the breast, heart disease (e.g., heart attack), stroke, dementia, and blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg.
  • Estrogens may also increase the risk of cancer of the ovary.
  • These risks appear to depend on the length of time this combination is used and the amount of estrogen per dose.
  • Therefore, two-drug HRT should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose, so you obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
  • If you use Prometrium for an extended period, you should be evaluated at least once a year.
  • See Notes section.
  • Blood clots may be more likely to form during very long periods of sitting or if you are bedridden, as well as with certain types of surgery.
  • If this applies to you, ask your doctor whether you should temporarily stop your medication.
  • Limit alcohol consumption as it may increase the side effects of Prometrium.
  • Because Prometrium may cause drowsiness, use caution performing tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving).
  • Prometrium should not be used during pregnancy.
  • If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately.
  • Prometrium passes into breast milk.
  • Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Missed Dose
  • If using 2 capsules daily (200mg) at bedtime and a dose is missed, use an extra dose of 1 capsule (100mg) the following morning then continue with the normal schedule.
  • If using 3 capsules (300mg) daily and a dose is missed, skip the missed dose and resume the normal schedule.

Drug Interactions
  • Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially of drugs that can cause drowsiness such as: sedatives, drugs for sleep, anti- anxiety drugs, anti-seizure medicines, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medications, muscle relaxants, certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine).
  • Certain laboratory tests may be altered by Prometrium, such as gonadotropin, progesterone and pregnanediol.
  • Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

Sleepiness, which, when taken at night, is a positive!

Additional Thoughts
I took Prometrium 200mg day 1 - 15 each month for about 8 years. At first had problems with sleepiness, but when switched to taking it at night, it solved my insomnia problem. I had no periods or spotting until recently, so am now taking it daily all month. This solved my spotting problem. I'm very happy with this medication.

I'm taking Metformin and my doctor wanted me to take Prometrium at the same time and I couldn't even stand up! It made me feel like I was drunk. I stop taking the Metformin every month when it comes time to take the Prometrium. Also I've been going to this doctor for 6 or 7 months now and I just want to conceive already! I feel very moody and I find things upset me way more than usual and I get alot of headaches.

Side Effects
Bad nausea when I first took this medication but this has improved . I found its best to eat smaller meals to help with the bloating . Always take it at night [this I found out myself] I'm fine when I wake up in the morning but as the day progresses I get tired and light headed. I have trouble concentrating since taking this medication and very little energy.

Additional Thoughts
Well this drug did ease up my bleeding and has helped me that way . However we all worry about the long term side effects of taking any medication and because of that I cant wait to come off it.

extreme tiredness

Additional Thoughts
I read a lot of the comments on here before I started taking Prometrium. This is my fourth time taking it and I have never had a problem. I take two 200mg capsules before bedtime. My RE suggested that I take them before bed because they make you tired. I take them as I am literally crawling into bed. I feel slightly tired in the morning but nothing like the other women have said. I would recommend taking them if you are having difficulties with your period.
