No, take it with water and milk and with food. It probably increases bio availability by twofold, if its anything like other progestins.

No, just take it with food. It's just like taking Spiro. Food increases the dose that stays in your system.

Why is it bad? When i took it i just took it with water normally after i ate, but sometimes just with water. I just took my spiro and progesterone in the same sitting.

The micronized form of progesterone [Prometrium] is generally less problematic but also more expensive so usually will start with the medroxyprogesterone as most can tolerate it

The oral bioavailabilty of Medroxyprogesterone acetate is close to 100% (in contrast to about 5% for bio-identical progesterone) so there is no point of taking it sublingually. Food or no food makes no difference.
