Overview
Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel contains natural progesterone 8% (90mg per applicator dose) in a bioadhesive vaginal gel, used to provide progesterone supplementation for luteal phase support in assisted reproductive technology (such as IVF) and for the treatment of secondary amenorrhoea.
The bioadhesive gel adheres to the vaginal wall and releases progesterone steadily, supporting transformation of the uterine lining into a state suitable for embryo implantation and helping maintain early pregnancy by reducing uterine contractility.
How it Works
Progesterone released from the bioadhesive gel is absorbed directly through the vaginal wall, achieving locally high uterine tissue levels while largely avoiding first-pass liver metabolism. This supports consistent endometrial transformation and helps sustain early pregnancy when progesterone from the ovary or placenta needs supplementation.
Directions for Use
Wash your hands before use, then insert the pre-filled applicator of Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel into the vagina as instructed by your doctor, ideally at a consistent time each day. Some gel residue after use is expected, as the bioadhesive formulation is designed to remain in contact with the vaginal wall, so this does not mean the dose was not absorbed properly.
Dosage
The usual dose of Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel is one applicator (90mg) inserted vaginally once daily, though your fertility specialist may prescribe twice-daily dosing depending on your specific assisted reproduction protocol. Treatment is often continued through the early weeks of pregnancy if conception occurs, as directed by your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I notice gel residue after using Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel?
This is expected and normal – the bioadhesive gel is designed to stay in contact with the vaginal wall to release progesterone steadily, and residue does not mean the dose failed to absorb.
Can I use Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel at any time of day?
It is best to use it at a similar time each day as advised by your doctor, to help maintain steady progesterone levels, particularly during fertility treatment cycles.
Do I continue this medicine if I become pregnant?
In many assisted reproduction protocols, progesterone support is continued through the early weeks of pregnancy as directed by your fertility specialist – do not stop without medical advice.
Is Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel the same as a progesterone pessary?
Both provide vaginal progesterone, but this product is a bioadhesive gel delivered by a pre-filled applicator rather than a solid pessary; your doctor will advise which is appropriate for your specific treatment.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Crinone 8% Vaginal Gel?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose – in that case, skip it and continue your regular schedule. Contact your doctor if you are unsure.
