Troche
Progesterone troches contain the well-known ingredient progesterone. The progesterone used in these tablets is derived from plants, is bioidentical to endogenous hormones, and is commonly considered for use in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Troches are designed to be placed between the cheeks and gum, not swallowed. This medication is available only by prescription and is supplied in a 100 mg or 200 mg strength.
Progesterone Troche is a compounded medication prepared in a 503A compounding pharmacy setting. Progesterone is a hormone most often thought of as being responsible for secretory changes in the endometrium, mammary gland development, uterine smooth muscle relaxation, blocking follicular maturation and ovulation, and maintaining pregnancy. This medication is commonly considered by providers for symptoms such as sleep disturbance, estrogen dominance, and menstrual irregularities when treating women with hormonal concerns. Buccal administration allows the drug to be absorbed by the oral mucosa between the cheek and gum. This dosage form may allow for less first-pass metabolism compared to swallowing an oral pill or capsule.
Features:
- Active ingredient: Contains bioidentical progesterone, providing focused supplementation
- Dosage Form: Troche designed to be placed between the cheek and gum
- Absorption: Buccal administration may help decrease first-pass metabolism
Potential Usage:
This medication might be prescribed for symptoms such as sleep disturbance, estrogen dominance, irregular periods, bloating, and mood swings when treating women with hormonal concerns. Dosing might be nightly or during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle during perimenopause. It is dependent on physician assessment, and based on patient history and response to treatment. Individual results may vary. Pharmacist consultation is available for healthcare providers seeking additional information or guidance on use and formulation options.
