Luteon

Luteon is a pharmaceutical brand of progesterone, an endogenous steroid hormone essential for the regulation of the female reproductive system and the maintenance of pregnancy. Developed and manufactured by Shin Poong Pharmaceutical, it is primarily indicated for conditions associated with progesterone deficiency, including primary and secondary amenorrhea, functional uterine bleeding, and as luteal phase support in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Progesterone acts as an agonist at the progesterone receptor (PR); upon binding, it induces the secretory transformation of the estrogen-primed endometrium, facilitates embryo implantation, and maintains gestation by reducing uterine contractility. Luteon is typically formulated as an oil-based solution for intramuscular injection, providing a sustained therapeutic effect to support reproductive health.
