Progesterone
Progesterone protects the uterine lining when estrogen is prescribed and, taken on its own, can reduce hot flashes and night sweats early after menopause. IAM dispenses it as a capsule, sustained-release capsule or rapid-dissolve tablet in provider-selected strengths, alone or alongside other women's hormone care. A licensed provider reviews symptoms, history, medications and testing before prescribing.

What progesterone can help with
Protect your uterus and calm your nights.
Progesterone protects the uterine lining when estrogen is prescribed, and on its own it can ease hot flashes and night sweats early after menopause. IAM's provider chooses the form and strength, as a capsule, sustained-release capsule or dissolving tablet.
Protect the uterine lining on estrogen
Estrogen thickens the lining of the uterus. For a woman with a uterus taking systemic estrogen, oral micronized progesterone has labeled evidence for keeping that lining safe.
Fewer hot flashes and night sweats
In a placebo-controlled trial of healthy women in the early years after menopause, oral micronized progesterone reduced hot flashes and night sweats.
A form that fits you
IAM dispenses progesterone as a capsule, a sustained-release capsule or a rapid-dissolve tablet, in provider-selected strengths and 30, 60 or 90 per fill.
How it works
Progesterone acts on receptors in the uterine lining to counter estrogen's growth signal, which is how it protects the uterus. It also acts in the brain, including the centers that regulate temperature, which is where its effect on hot flashes comes from.
Research and product information
The labeled uterine-protection evidence concerns specific oral micronized progesterone regimens taken with estrogen, and the symptom trial studied healthy early-postmenopausal women; those results are not established for every compounded capsule, sustained-release form or dissolving tablet.

Patient reviews
What patients say about IAM.
HRT helped me navigate menopause with grace.
I’m sleeping better, have more energy, and feel like myself again.
Emil and his staff have been great
Emil and his staff have been great. The doctor was easy to talk to and really wanted to understand my goals. The pricing was reasonable and the shipping was lightning fast. I received it two days after it shipped. The order was packaged securely and clear instructions came along with all supplies that I needed. I’ve used multiple clinics and highly recommend this place. I won’t be shopping for my HRT supplies anywhere else. They’ve exceeded my expectations. I'm very satisfied!
Absolutely amazing!
Absolutely amazing. Have dealt with two other HRT clinics. They do not compare to the service, knowledge, prices and overall quality of IAMHRT. Have learned so much and gotten to see first hand the benefits we spoke about at consultation and follow up appointments.
