Dydrogesterone restores hormonal balance in women with irregular periods caused by progesterone deficiency. It helps ensure regular menstrual cycles and reduces menstrual pain and heavy bleeding.
This medicine supports the endometrial lining of the uterus, creating favorable conditions for embryo implantation and growth. It also helps prevent early miscarriage by maintaining progesterone levels during pregnancy.
When used with estrogen, Dydrogesterone helps protect the uterus from the harmful effects of unopposed estrogen, reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.
Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water; do not chew or crush it. It can be taken with or without food, but preferably at a fixed time each day. The dose and duration will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment.
