Common brand names for progesterone (by form)
Brand names vary by country and by whether progesterone is oral, vaginal, or injectable. In the US, patients commonly see progesterone marketed under names such as:
- Prometrium (oral progesterone capsules)
- Crinone (vaginal progesterone gel)
- Endometrin (vaginal progesterone inserts/tablets)
- Prochieve (vaginal progesterone gel)
- (Some injectable progesterone products are marketed under separate brand names; specific names depend on the manufacturer and formulation.)
What form changes the brand name?
Progesterone is used in different settings (for example, fertility treatment, menopausal hormone therapy, or luteal support in IVF). Because brands are tied to specific formulations, the “same hormone” can have different brand names depending on whether it is:
- taken by mouth (oral capsule),
- used in the vagina (gel or insert), or
- given as an injection (injectable solutions).
How to identify the right product on a prescription
If you’re trying to match a prescription to a brand, check the label for:
- “progesterone” (generic name),
- dosage (mg),
- route/form (capsule, gel, insert, injection),
- and the concentration (especially for vaginal gels).
If you’re looking for a specific country
Brand names differ by market. If you tell me your country (and whether you need oral, vaginal, or injectable progesterone), I can list the most likely brand names used there.
