Hello ladies.
I was chatting to a Pharmacist today and when talking about the Utrogestan capsules she said that they should be taken orally as per the manufacturers instructions as they are designed to encounter stomach acid and would not properly degrade in the vagina as the environment is so different.
I am sure this question has been raised before, infact when I was using Utrogestan vaginally and experiencing spotting I remember being helped by the wonderful ladies on this site.
I am on patches ATM and after a good spell I'm struggling again, hence the HRT chat in the chemists! I admit that her comments have worried me and it would be great if anyone has put this specific question to a medic and been reassured that the oral capsules are equally effective when used vaginally.
If any of you ladies have some thoughts on the matter I would love to hear them and I'm sure any information would be welcomed by other forum members as well.
Wishing everyone a good day.
K.
