Crinone 8%

Once-daily Crinone 8%:
Proven Progesterone Support That’s Easy and Comfortable

Developed for women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART)

  • First progesterone approved for use during ART by the US Food and Drug Administration
  • Proven effective in numerous studies over 10 years

Designed to put progesterone right where you need it

  • Made of a unique bioadhesive gel that coats and adheres to the vaginal walls after application to minimize leakage — No other progesterone offers this distinct,
    patient-friendly delivery method
  • Progesterone in Crinone travels directly to the uterus—where it is needed
  • After Crinone is absorbed, it is common and not harmful to have some gel residue buildup in the vagina

Once-daily Crinone fits easily into your morning routine

  • One quick dose each morning makes it easy for you to get up, get your Crinone, and get on with your day
  • Morning dosing is best because daily activity helps Crinone coat the vagina, reducing accumulation

Spotting and/or bleeding

  • Similar to other progesterones, spotting and/or bleeding is possible with Crinone
  • Spotting and/or bleeding is not a sign that you are not pregnant or that you have had a miscarriage. Continue to take Crinone
  • If you become concerned, speak to your doctor

Crinone 8% (progesterone gel) is indicated for progesterone supplementation or replacement as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment for infertile women with progesterone deficiency.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
