PROGESTERONE CREAM WARNING

Over the counter progesterone creams--including many purported to bemade from wild yams--can ease hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause. BUT they contain MORE progesterone than women realize. So many women using these creams overdose, experiencing water retention, weight gain, breast tenderness, and depression.
SELF DEFENSE: Check with a doctor BEFORE using these creams...AND alert your doctor if you experience suspicious symptoms. Do NOT use progesterone cream for more than 15 consecutive days.
