Crinone Vaginal Gel contains 8% natural micronized progesterone in a bioadhesive gel base. It is primarily used for hormone replacement therapy in women with progesterone deficiency, particularly during assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles like IVF. Administered vaginally, Crinone provides targeted progesterone support to prepare and maintain the uterine lining for embryo implantation and early pregnancy support.

• Delivers progesterone directly to the uterus for maximum effectiveness

• Supports embryo implantation and early pregnancy maintenance

• Useful in luteal phase support during IVF and other fertility treatments

• Minimizes systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable forms

• Convenient and mess-free vaginal applicator for easy administration

Insert the applicator containing one dose of Crinone Gel into the vagina, preferably at the same time each day or as directed by your fertility specialist. Lie down for a few minutes post-application to ensure absorption.

• Typically used once or twice daily depending on the treatment protocol

• Dosage and duration are determined by your doctor based on the indication (e.g., IVF, luteal phase support)

• Not recommended in cases of undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, liver dysfunction, or known/suspected breast or genital cancers

• Use with caution in women with a history of depression, cardiovascular disease, or clotting disorders

• Regular monitoring may be required during prolonged use
