CapsulesClinical Overview

Identical to human ovarian luteal progesterone, it transforms the proliferative endometrium into a secretory endometrium, promotes blastocyst implantation, suppresses myometrial oxytocin receptor expression, and inhibits uterine contractions to maintain pregnancy. Indicated for luteal phase support in assisted reproduction (IVF/ICSI), threatened and recurrent miscarriage, prevention of preterm birth in women with short cervix, secondary amenorrhea, and endometrial protection during estrogen HRT.

Usage Guidelines
Capsules may be administered ORALLY or VAGINALLY as instructed by the gynecologist: Vaginal route (preferred in pregnancy & IVF): Insert 100 mg to 200 mg deep into the vagina two to three times daily while lying down, ensuring rapid local endometrial uptake without hepatic first-pass sedative metabolites. Oral route: Take 100 to 200 mg at bedtime on an empty stomach with a glass of water (reduces daytime drowsiness/dizziness).
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Drowsiness/somnolence (oral route), dizziness, headache, breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, nausea, and vaginal discharge/leakage (vaginal route). Rare/Severe: Thromboembolic events (DVT, PE), cholestatic jaundice, depression, and severe allergic reactions.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Use caution when driving or operating machinery due to central sedative metabolites (allopregnanolone) when taken orally. Contraindicated in active venous thromboembolism, severe hepatic impairment, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, porphyria, and missed abortion. Safe and indicated during early pregnancy under specialist care.
