This medication is manufactured in Turkey.

Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel (Progesterone) is prescribed to induce menstruation in women with lowered levels of progesterone. The gel contains a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone to boost lowered progesterone levels triggering the release of an egg and improving its ability to attach to the uterus at the beginning of pregnancy.

Your doctor may prescribe the gel to treat other conditions that are not listed here.
