A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11865179B2) discloses a pharmaceutical composition designed for the oral administration of progesterone to individuals in need of such treatment. The composition includes progesterone, a solubilizing agent predominantly consisting of C6-C12 fatty acid tri-esters of glycerol, and a nonionic surfactant, specifically lauroyl polyoxyl-32 glycerides. The progesterone content in the composition ranges from 20 to 50 weight percent, with options for specific dosages between 25 mg to 200 mg, including 75 mg or 150 mg variants.

Furthermore, the patent details additional components and specifications of the pharmaceutical composition, such as the inclusion of a C6-C12 fatty acid mono-ester of glycerol in the solubilizing agent, the presence of solubilized and suspended progesterone, and the option for encapsulation in a gelatin capsule. The total mass of the composition is specified to be less than 500 mg, with a breakdown of the composition's components by weight. Additionally, the composition may include an antioxidant, specifically butylated hydroxy toluene, and may feature medium chain triglycerides of caprylic and capric fatty acids in the solubilizing agent. These detailed claims provide a comprehensive overview of the unique pharmaceutical composition designed for the effective oral administration of progesterone to individuals in need of such treatment.
