Prometrium Warnings and Precautions
Prior to beginning treatment, it's a good idea to be aware of the precautions and warnings with Prometrium. For example, let your healthcare provider know if you have asthma, depression, or heart problems of any kind. Women who have had a heart attack or stroke within the past year should not take Prometrium. Warnings and precautions also extend to those with diabetes, liver disease, or cancer.
