Alternative Formulations of Natural Progesterone

Hello,

I am looking for alternative medical formulations of natural progesterone, inserted vaginally (used to treal luteal phase defect).

I have taken 400mg Prometrium (brand name from Sherring-Plough) vaginally. When taken orally, I have no side effects with this formulation. However, I suspect the Prometrium is the cause of a vaginal infection, when I administer it vaginally. (Something about the coating on the pills themselves.)

I have been told natural progesterone is more effective (and perhaps less harmful) when taken vaginally because it need not be processed by the liver.

Can anyone suggest other brands which I can investigate? I understand Crinone is an alternative, unfortunately this has not yet been approved for use in Canada. Can pharmacies buy the powder and create their own pills?

Thanks Carrie
