Mechanism of action

Think of progesterone as a hormone that helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy. Trimegestone works by binding to progesterone receptors in the body, which can help regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent pregnancy. This can be beneficial for women who want to avoid pregnancy, but more research is needed to understand its full effects on the body.
