What are Utrogestan Vaginal Capsules?
Utrogestan 100mg oral capsules are commonly used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to protect the womb lining when taking oestrogen. If these are unavailable, Utrogestan 200mg vaginal capsules may be used as an alternative on a specialist advice.
Although originally intended for fertility treatment, the 200mg capsules contain the same active ingredient as the 100mg version. They are designed for vaginal use only. While this use in HRT is off-label, it is widely accepted and often recommended when standard options are not accessible.
How does Utrogestan 200mg work?
When oestrogen is taken alone, it can cause the endometrial (womb) lining to build up, increasing the risk of womb cancer in some women. Utrogestan contains micronised progesterone, which helps balance this effect by encouraging the lining to shed regularly, similar to a natural menstrual cycle. This reduces the risk of endometrial cancer and makes Utrogestan an important part of combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Although the 200mg vaginal capsules are not licensed for HRT, they are often used off-label when the licensed 100mg capsules are unavailable. The progesterone is still absorbed effectively through the vaginal route, helping to protect the womb lining just as it would with the oral version.
Utrogestan 200mg ingredients
The active ingredient in Utrogestan is progesterone. Each capsule contains 200mg.
The other ingredients are sunflower oil andsoybean lecithin. The ingredients in the capsule shell are gelatin, glycerol, titanium dioxide (E171), and purified water.
Patient Information Leaflet
Always read the patient leaflet included with your Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules prescription for full safety details. Sometimes side effects not listed on some websites, so here is the Utrogestan 200mg capsules leaflet.
How to take Utrogestan Vaginal Capsules
Always follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking Utrogestan capsules. Here are some general guidelines:
- Insert capsules vaginally: Insert the capsule deep into the vagina using an applicator (if provided). Wash your hands before and after each use.
- Times per day: Frequency depends on your treatment plan. Common dosing is one capsule inserted 1-3 times per day.
- IVF support: Start within 3 days after egg retrieval. The usual dose is 600mg daily (one capsule in the morning, afternoon, and evening) until at least the 7th week of pregnancy.
- Preterm birth prevention: Insert one 200mg capsule in the evening until week 34 of pregnancy.
- If you miss a dose: Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed capsule.
You can buy Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules online from a licensed pharmacy. However, always ensure you purchase from a trusted supplier to receive genuine medicine. An alternative treatment may be available if this medication is not suitable.
Side effects of Utrogestan 200mg Capsules
Along with its intended effects, Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules may cause mild side effects, including:
- Itching
- Oily vaginal discharge
- Vaginal bleeding
- Burning sensation in the vagina
- Fatigue or dizziness
These side effects usually resolve on their own, but tell your doctor or pharmacist if they persist or worsen.

Utrogestan 200mg warnings and precautions
Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules are generally safe when used under medical supervision, but certain precautions apply:
- Not a contraceptive: Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules support early pregnancy but do not prevent pregnancy. Use contraception if avoiding pregnancy.
- Liver problems: Stop using Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules if you experience itching, yellowing skin/eyes, or dark urine.
- Allergic reactions: Do not use if allergic to progesterone, peanuts, soybeans, or other capsule ingredients.
- Blood clots: Higher progesterone levels may increase clotting risks. Inform your doctor if you have a history of blood clots.
- Breast/genital cancer: Do not use Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules if you have breast, uterine, or vaginal cancer or unexplained vaginal bleeding.
- Pregnancy loss: Contact your doctor if you think you have miscarried or if your water breaks early. You may need to discontinue Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules.
Discuss your medical history with your doctor before starting Utrogestan 200mg Vaginal Capsules, especially if you have liver disease, clotting issues, or hormone-sensitive cancers.
Important note
It is possible to go without symptoms for a month, but always speak to your doctor to protect your health. Take 6 capsules every day as prescribed, and if you forget, skip the missed dose and continue with the next dose.
There is a risk of blood clots in a vein, including deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, so follow your regime carefully. Do not stop your drug abruptly; consult a specialist before making changes.
If symptoms return, you may need to switch back to treatment. Some applicators are reusable, and doctors may recommend different doses based on evidence. Your body can naturally purify substances, but people with lung conditions should take precautions. Inform your doctor about any recently taken medications, including herbal supplements.
