Half-lifeAbsorption half-life is approximately 25-50 hours and an elimination half-life of 5-20 minutes (progesterone gel). Progesterone, administered orally, has a short serum half-life (approximately 5 minutes). It is rapidly metabolized to _17-hydroxyprogesterone_ during its first pass through the liver. Due to the sustained release properties of Prochieve, progesterone absorption is prolonged with an absorption half-life of approximately 25-50 hours, and an elimination half-life of 5-20 minutes. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics of Prochieve are rate-limited by absorption rather than by elimination. The elimination half life of progesterone is approximately 5 minutes ... Progesterone has a short plasma half-life of several minutes.
Protein binding96%-99% bound to serum proteins, primarily to serum albumin (50%-54%) and transcortin (43%-48%).

PsychonautWiki summary

Fatal overdose may occur when GABAergic substances are combined with other depressants such as opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, gabapentinoids, thienodiazepines or alcohol.[1] It is strongly discouraged to combine these substances, particularly in common to heavy doses.
