2. Progestogen (medication) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progestogen_(medication)

   Examples of progestogens include natural or bioidentical progesterone as well as progestins such as medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone. [1] Side effects of progestogens include menstrual irregularities, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, acne, increased hair growth, and changes in liver protein production among others.

3. List of progestogen esters - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_progestogen_esters

   Unlike the case of testosterone and estradiol, progesterone cannot be esterified as it lacks hydroxyl groups, so all progestogen esters, with the exception of esters of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone like hydroxyprogesterone caproate, are esters of progestins (synthetic progestogens) and are non-bioidentical.

4. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioidentical_hormone...

   Laboratory studies have suggested that bioidentical progesterone binds primarily to progesterone receptors, while synthetic progestins activate other receptors with a variety of effects. The editors suggested that progesterone may have neutral to positive effects on the cardiovascular system, and induce apoptosis in breast epithelial cells.

5. Hormone replacement therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone_replacement_therapy

   Progestogens – bioidentical progesterone, and progestins (synthetic progestogens) like medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), norethisterone, and dydrogesterone; Androgens – bioidentical testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and synthetic anabolic steroids like methyltestosterone and nandrolone decanoate [116] [117]

6. Progesterone (medication) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progesterone_(medication)

   Progesterone (P4), sold under the brand name Prometrium among others, is a medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone. [20] It is a progestogen and is used in combination with estrogens mainly in hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms and low sex hormone levels in women.

7. Pharmacodynamics of progesterone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacodynamics_of...

   Progesterone differs from progestins (synthetic progestogens) like medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone, with implications for pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics as well as efficacy, tolerability, and safety. [1] Progesterone can be taken by mouth, in through the vagina, and by injection into muscle or fat, among other routes. [1]
