Prometrium:

This is a pure micronized form of progesterone that may be taken orally or vaginally. Progesterone may be prescribed for several reasons: * To properly regulate the menstrual cycle and treat certain types of amenorrhea (i.e., absent menstrual periods). After the amount of progesterone in the blood drops, the lining of the uterus begins to come off and vaginal bleeding occurs (menstrual period). * To help a pregnancy occur during egg donor or infertility procedures in women who do not produce enough progesterone. Also, progesterone is given to help maintain a pregnancy when not enough of it is made by the body. * To prevent excessive thickening of the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) in menopausal women who are being treated with estrogen replacement therapy (ERT).

Viagra:

Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines that delay the enzymes called phosphodiesterases from working too quickly. Sildenafil is used to treat men who have erectile dysfunction (also called sexual impotence). It has been utilized to improve the endometrial lining in certain cases of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). In these cases, it is used intravaginally. By controlling the enzyme phosphodiesterase, sildenafil helps to maintain an erection that is produced when the penis is stroked. Without physical action to the penis, such as that occurring during sexual intercourse, sildenafil will not work to cause an erection.
