Progesterone Topical
Uses
Crinone is used in female infertility and hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women.
How it Works
Crinone belongs to a class of medications called as progestins otherwise known as female hormones. Crinone works by maintaining the progesterone levels in the body. One of the most important roles of Crinone is to balance or oppose the effects of estrogen. Unopposed estrogen creates a strong risk for breast cancer and reproductive cancers. Progesterone also stimulates bone-building and thus helps protect against osteoporosis.
