This combination medication is currently not available in the United States, where progesterone either alone or in combination with estrogen is used to improve menopausal symptoms. Transdermal progesterone (skin patch) and oral micronized progesterone (which is chemically identical to the progesterone produced in women's bodies) have each been shown to be effective treatments for certain symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and night sweats, otherwise known as vasomotor symptoms or VMS.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dolitsky |first=Shelley N. |last2=Cordeiro Mitchell |first2=Christina N. |last3=Stadler |first3=Sarah Sheehan |last4=Segars |first4=James H. |date=2021 |title=Efficacy of progestin-only treatment for the management of menopausal symptoms: a systematic review |url=https://journals.lww.com/10.1097/GME.0000000000001676 |journal=Menopause |language=en |volume=28 |issue=2 |pages=217–224 |doi=10.1097/GME.0000000000001676 |issn=1530-0374}}</ref> Additionally, micronized progesterone cream and micronized progesterone in combined menopausal hormone therapy are both beneficial in preventing skin aging in post-menopausal women.

Estrone/progesterone (E1/P4), sold under the brand name Synergon, is a combination medication formulation of estrone, an estrogen, and progesterone, a progestogen. E1/P4 is used as an injectable preparation to induce withdrawal bleeding in women with non-pregnancy-related amenorrhea (absence of menstruation).[3][1][2][4] [5][6][7] It has also sometimes been used off-label as an abortifacient.[5][6][8] The medication comes in a three-ampoule pack, contains 1 mg estrone and 10 mg progesterone per ampoule, and is administered by intramuscular injection.[3][5][6][9] The usual dose of the medication is three injections, each two days apart, with the treatment duration not exceeding one week.[3] E1/P4 is or has been available in France, Monaco, and Turkey, as well as in some French-speaking African countries such as Benin and Cameroon.[1][2][4][10][6][8] The medication has been marketed since at least 1952.[11]
Estrone
Side effects
Some common side effects seen with the usage of estrogens include: breast swelling, breast tenderness, vaginal itching, abnormal uterine bleeding, weight gain, hair loss, jaundice, and anaphylaxis.[12]
Adverse effect
Some adverse effects seen with the usage of estrogens include: increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), stroke, breast cancer, hypertension, and vaginitis.[12][13]
The use of estrone has several contraindications, some examples including: hypersensitivity, history of some cancers, stroke, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and those currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Estrogens hold a boxed warning to be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest possible treatment period if used alone or with another hormone in the progestogen class[13]
Estrone is contraindicated for those that have or are suspected of having breast cancer. The use of estrogens hold a boxed warning with breast cancer for post-menopausal women as this can increase the risk of developing invasive breast cancer.[14] Those with breast cancer become at a greater risk of hypercalcemia and bone metastases when taking estrogens.[15] Post-menopausal women with breast cancer can be seen to develop frailty syndrome when there are changes in blood hormonal levels, including an increased level of estrone. Estrone, the major type of estrogen produced in post-menopausal women, was seen in greater concentrations from standard levels in those that were categorized as prefrail and in those that classified as frail.[16]
The risk of VTE is increased in those that use estrogens, those that currently have or have a history with VTE are at a greater risk of reoccurring VTE with the usage of estrogens.[14][17] The use of estrogens within three weeks postpartum may increase the risk of developing a VTE.[18] Risk of developing initial VTE is also increased with familial history, genetic mutations: factor V Leiden and prothrombin-G20210A, and pregnancy-postpartum with the use of estrogens.[19]
The use of estrogens may affect the ability to breastfeed and can change the composition of breastmilk. Estrogens have been used to suppress lactation which can result in a reduced total duration of lactation and reduced volume or inability to produce breastmilk. Composition of breastmilk produced was also seen to be different resulting in a reduced concentration of proteins in the milk. Babies of mothers that were taking estrogens while breastfeeding were seen to experience slower weight gain. [18]

Synergon is dedicated product made up of a combination of progesterone and oestrone in an injectable form. It is used to induce withdrawal bleeding in cases of non-gravid amenorrhoea. In Cameroon, synergon is widely used among students as an abortifacient and is usually administered clandestinely by nurses when a woman presents with amenorrhoea. Such an attitude stemmed from the fact that this product induces withdrawal bleeding, so that some cases of amenorrhoea falsely believed to be due pregnancy are resolved by one or a few intramuscular injections of Synergon.

Synergon is not produced by the manufacturer as an abortifacient; how it came to be associated with abortion in Cameroon is not known. It is also not known whether it actually induces abortion or it only induces withdrawal bleeding in women with non-gravid amenorrhoea.
