Abstract
A pharmaceutical composition suitable for oral administration comprises micronized progesterone in an oil vehicle which is high in glycerides of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Micronized progesterone particles suspended in such an oil vehicle are absorbed more readily into the bloodstream and achieve high progesterone blood serum levels. The pharmaceutical composition according to the invention can be readily formulated into capsules and administered for the treatment of premenstrual syndrome.
