Is Usage Of OTC Progesterone Cream Safe?

I am a postmenopausal woman prescribed Premarin vaginal cream. I believe I need progesterone since I still have my uterus. Would it be safe/effective to use the OTC progesterone cream alone with the estrogen cream? I have tried Prempro without results.

Hi dear!
While you use Premarin or estrogen cream and you have uterus , yes you should use progesterone to opposite side effects of estrogen in the uterus such as endometeial cancer.
