The first and only licensed treatment in the UK for the prevention of miscarriage in women with early pregnancy bleeding and a history of recurrent miscarriage

1 April 2025 — London, UK — Besins Healthcare UK today announced the launch of Prometrium (progesterone) 400mg soft vaginal capsules. The product is now available for use across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Recurrent miscarriage, defined as the loss of three or more pregnancies, affects around 1% of couples trying to conceive. For women with no history of miscarriage, the risk of miscarriage is approximately 11%, but this increases significantly with each successive pregnancy loss – rising to 42% after three or more miscarriages.

Irina Spirieva, General Manager, UK & Ireland at Besins Healthcare, commented: “Experiencing a miscarriage can be devastating, and uniquely distressing for women and partners who have already lost pregnancies. As a company dedicated to hormone health including women’s reproductive health, we are committed to working alongside the NHS and healthcare professionals to improve access, awareness, and outcomes for women facing the uncertainty of early pregnancy complications.”
