E-drug: Single tablet for oral, vaginal and rectal use (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear all,
In India these formulations are available (tablet/capsule having
three different route of administrations). One example is the
progesterone soft gelatin capsules, which are intended for
oral/rectal/vaginal use.
May be this possibility is due to one reason chemically
progesterone is lypophilic in nature and diffuses freely into cells.
Some manufacturers are using micronised (decreasing particle
size) progesterone. This enables rapid absorption and improves
bioavailability.
As I know, no other such formulation are available apart from
progesterone capsule.
