A progesterone self-emulsifying formulation, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. The progesterone self-emulsifying formulation comprises the following preparation raw materials by
mass fraction: 0.5%-20% of progesterone, 15%-50% of an oily
solvent, 45%-80% of a surfactant, and 0-25% of a co-surfactant. Progesterone in the progesterone self-emulsifying formulation is in a completely dissolved state, which promotes the absorption of progesterone in the body, thereby improving the oral
bioavailability of progesterone. In addition, by means of dispersing progesterone in a self-emulsifying
system, under the action of an
oil phase, progesterone enters the lymphatic circulation together with chylomicrons, thereby avoiding the liver first-pass effect, not only increasing the oral
bioavailability of progesterone, but also reducing the
plasma concentration of metabolites, and reducing the incidence of adverse reactions of oral progesterone.
