Hi, i would like to know how long does the progesterone vaginal suppository remains in vagina? does it leave the medication as a coating in vagina? thank you?

The progesterone Vaginal suppository does not leave a coating in the vagina. The medicine is absorbed fairly soon after the suppository is placed. Good luck.
