What is Crinone?

Crinone (progesterone gel) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Merck Global. Crinone is used to treat infertility in women who do not make enough of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to maintain pregnancy. Progesterone is also needed to keep menstrual periods and ovulation regular and is used to restore the menstrual cycles in women whose cycles have stopped.

Crinone 8% is indicated for progesterone supplementation or replacement as part of an assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) treatment for infertile women with progesterone deficiency. Crinone 4% is indicated for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea. Crinone 8% is indicated for use in women who have failed to respond to treatment with Crinone 4%.

Crinone is also used to prevent overgrowth in the lining of the uterus in postmenopausal women who are receiving estrogen hormone replacement therapy.

What doses of Crinone are available?

Crinone is available as a vaginal gel in the following doses: 4% gel (45 mg), 8% gel (90 mg).

Crinone gel should not be used with other local intravaginal therapy. If other local intravaginal therapy is to be used, there should be at least a 6-hour period before or after Crinone. Crinone gel should be inserted while you are lying on your back with your knees bent. You do not have to remain lying down after inserting the medication.

Please read the patient information and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
