A member asked:
Is micronized progesterone body hair growth also as side effect?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Micronized..: This is a topical progesterone, not oral. It is absorbed and is the precursor for all of the body's steroids, including those with androgewnic activity, which can increase hair. It cannot do so through any known local effect!
