Is gynecological medication a prescription drug or an over-the-counter drug?

Patient's question:

The doctor told me my progesterone is low and prescribed me two boxes of gynecological medication capsules, two times a day, two pills each time. By the third day, are the gynecological medications over-the-counter?

Doctor's answer:

Actually, gynecological drugs are also a type of prescription medication, primarily used to treat threatened miscarriage, habitual abortion, and premenstrual syndrome. When combined with estrogen, they are highly effective in treating menopausal symptoms. The main active ingredient in gynecological drug capsules is the gynecological drug itself. Although this medication is quite potent, it must be taken strictly according to medical advice, as otherwise it may cause side effects to the body. Additionally, the role of gynecological drugs in preventing miscarriage is limited. They can be somewhat effective for threatened miscarriage caused by insufficient luteinizing hormone or progesterone deficiency, but first, it should be determined whether the issue is indeed due to a lack of gynecological drugs.
