Matria provides a nurse and weekly 17P injections in the home if the insurance covers it. Also, Adeza has received tentative approval for 17P, called Gestiva from the FDA. Google "Adeza" and you will see the latest FDA status. A.Fuentes Director Maternal Fetal Center Orlando,FL _____ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of R.

The studies on these two sources are not yet in but many question the validity of the 17 oh progesterone studies in terms of whether there is a true reduction in premature deliverines.
