Crinone

Crinone (progesterone gel) is a hormonal medication used primarily for progesterone supplementation or replacement in women undergoing fertility treatments, such as assisted reproductive technology (ART), and for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods). Progesterone is essential for preparing the lining of the uterus to support a pregnancy and maintain it during the early stages.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Crinone Work?

Crinone contains progesterone, which helps prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy by transforming it into a state that is receptive to a fertilized egg. It also helps maintain early pregnancy by supporting the uterine lining and reducing the risk of miscarriage in women undergoing fertility treatments.



Common Dosages

  • Vaginal gel: 4% and 8% concentrations (administered via a single-use applicator).

Typical Dosing

  • For progesterone supplementation: The typical dose is 90 mg (8% gel) inserted vaginally once daily, starting after ovulation or the embryo transfer, and continued for up to 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
  • For secondary amenorrhea: The usual dose is 45 mg (4% gel) every other day for 6 doses. If no response occurs, the dose may be increased to 90 mg (8% gel) every other day for 6 doses.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Progesterone supplementation in women undergoing ART.
  • Secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods).


Who Shouldn't Take Crinone?

  • Known hypersensitivity to progesterone or any component of the formulation.
  • Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.
  • Liver disease or hepatic dysfunction.
  • Breast cancer or hormone-dependent cancers.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Administer Crinone using the pre-filled applicator provided. Insert it into the vagina and squeeze the contents out. Avoid intercourse or douching immediately after application.
  • Store Crinone at room temperature and protect it from heat and moisture.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double up doses.


Side Effects of Crinone

Common Side Effects

  • Mild cramping
  • Breast tenderness
  • Headache
  • Vaginal irritation or discharge


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism)
  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
  • Depression or mood changes


Risks and Warnings of Crinone

  • Cardiovascular Risk: Progesterone therapy may increase the risk of blood clots, particularly in women with underlying cardiovascular risk factors or a history of clotting disorders.
  • Cancer Risk: Prolonged use of progesterone may increase the risk of breast cancer in some women. Discuss your risk factors with your healthcare provider.
  • Depression: Progesterone may cause mood swings or exacerbate depression. If you experience significant mood changes, consult your healthcare provider.


Interactions with Crinone

Common Drug Interactions

  • CYP450 enzyme inducers: Drugs like rifampin, carbamazepine, and phenobarbital may reduce the effectiveness of Crinone by increasing its metabolism.
  • Anticoagulants: Progesterone may increase the risk of blood clots, so using it with blood thinners like warfarin requires careful monitoring.
  • Other hormone therapies: Combining Crinone with estrogen or other hormone therapies may increase the risk of side effects.


Alternatives to Crinone

  • Endometrin (progesterone vaginal insert): A vaginal insert used for progesterone supplementation during assisted reproductive technology treatments.
  • Prometrium (oral progesterone capsules): An oral form of progesterone used for similar purposes, including hormone replacement therapy.
  • Progesterone in oil: A progesterone injection commonly used in fertility treatments to support early pregnancy.
