Progesterone 200 Mg Yellow Capsule

I am 60 yrs old and have been menopausal 2 yrs. A hysterosonography Aug. 7, 2013 revealed I have hyperplasia (thickened uterus wall). I had 2 days very light spotting in June and I am scheduled for a DNC in mid November. My Dr. prescribed Progesterone to take orally 1 per day. I asked her if I could use Prometrium - the botanical based "natural" alternative to synthetic hormones. She said yes. I just picked up my prescription and it was for Progesterone 200 mg. The pharmacist said Prometrium is just another name for Progesterone and is no longer manufactured? This is not what I have researched and is it true Prometrium is no longer manufactured? I am obese, have a slight thyroid condition for which I take Synthroid and I also take meds for hypertension. I am very reluctant to take additional meds, especially synthetic, chemically based meds?

Hello, Rebecca! How are you? I think things are a little confused here, but I'm happy to clear it up for you.

Progesterone is the one you want, it is the natural one. The synthetic one that you want to stay away from is called Progestin.

Learn more Prometrium details here.

Here's a link to the information on Prometrium and you can see that it is Progesterone.

Is there anything else I can help with?
