Dydrogesterone

Uses

Dydrogesterone is used in female infertility, pain during menstruation, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and endometriosis.

How it Works

How Dydrogesterone works Dydrogesterone contains progestin, a female hormone that plays a major role in regulating menstrual cycles. It initiates the normal growth and shedding of the uterine lining, helping to induce regular periods in women who experience menstrual irregularities due to a lack of progesterone. Additionally, it alleviates painful or absent periods, facilitates egg implantation, and thus treats infertility.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Dydrogesterone include headache, nausea, breast pain, migraine, menstrual disorders, and breast tenderness.

Expert Advice

  • Dydrogesterone is used for a wide range of menstrual disorders and to maintain a healthy uterine lining for ongoing pregnancies.
  • It may also be prescribed for women who have experienced repeated miscarriages.
  • Possible side effects include bleeding or spotting between menstrual periods; inform your doctor if this occurs frequently.
  • Before starting treatment with Dydrogesterone, notify your doctor if you have any scheduled surgeries.
  • Inform your doctor if you are lactose intolerant, as Dydrogesterone contains lactose.
  • Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other Combinations
