Introduction
Hydroport is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient hydroxyprogesterone. It is available in the form of drops and is prescribed to patients for a variety of medical conditions.
Uses
Hydroport is primarily used to help regulate hormone levels in the body. It is commonly prescribed to women who have experienced abnormal bleeding or irregular menstrual cycles. Additionally, it may be used to treat certain hormonal imbalances or conditions related to the reproductive system.
Dosage and Administration

Generally, Hydroport is administered orally using the included dropper. The drops should be placed under the tongue and swallowed.
