Research Context
Research context compiled from published sources
How does Micronized Progesterone work?
Binds to progesterone receptors in the endometrium, preventing oestrogen-driven hyperplasia. Micronization increases bioavailability. Metabolites (allopregnanolone) act on GABA receptors, contributing to its sedative and anxiolytic properties.
