Micronised progesterone as a component of menopausal hormone therapy

Micronised progesterone (mP) was TGA approved in 2016 for use as a progestogen in menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). It has improved bioavailability when taken orally, appears to have a more favourable breast safety profile than other progestogens, is neutral with respect to cardiovascular disease risk and does not cause adverse mood effects.
