Brief Answer:
you can switch to oral formulation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
The preparation of progesterone you have been prescribed has to be used vaginally only and this vaginal tab cannot be used orally. However there are oral tablets also available which can be used.
You may use MICROGEST 300mg SR once a day orally. It has the same progesterone and shall serve the same purpose. You can discuss it with your prescribing obstetrician and get it prescribed by him/her.
