Prometrium by itself is only a small part of the picture for treating perimenopausal symptoms. There are usually many other hormone deficiencies that contribute to these symptoms.

Perimenopause: Sometimes Prometrium (micronized progesterone) alone may not be as helpful as adding some estrogen along with the Progesterone to help the perimenopausal symptoms.
