Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Yes,this is same medication,progesterone,but with lower dosage and it will have sufficient effect in preventing miscarriage since it is recommended to have 300 mg dose only in first several weeks of pregnancy which is most critical for miscarriage. Later,there is internal progesterone production and dosage should be reduced till around 16th week of pregnancy. Wish you good health. Regards
