From the Research
Prometral, also known as Progesterone, is a medication primarily used to treat conditions related to hormonal imbalances, particularly in women, such as menstrual disorders, infertility, and as part of hormone replacement therapy. The provided evidence does not directly relate to Prometral or Progesterone, focusing instead on chelation therapy for heavy metal poisoning. However, based on general medical knowledge, Prometral (Progesterone) is used to support pregnancy, treat menstrual irregularities, and manage symptoms of menopause. The typical dosage and administration of Prometral can vary widely depending on the specific condition being treated, ranging from 5mg to 100mg daily, and may be given orally, intramuscularly, or vaginally. Common side effects include drowsiness, breast tenderness, and mood changes. More serious but rare side effects can include blood clots, stroke, and allergic reactions. Patients should inform their doctor of all other medications they're taking to prevent interactions, and Prometral should be used with caution in patients with a history of blood clots, liver disease, or breast cancer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
