Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Lupigest 200 containing progesterone given in early pregnancy to support it.
It is true when progesterone is taking orally 80-90% is destroyed by gut and liver as it passes through.
It is more effective when taken as a suppository.
So you can consult your doctor for the same.

Good luck.
