DYDROGEST 10MG

About

DYDROGEST 10MG contains Dydrogesterone, a synthetic progestogen that is structurally similar to natural progesterone but is orally active. It selectively acts on the progesterone receptors, mimicking the effects of endogenous progesterone without exhibiting estrogenic, androgenic, anabolic, or corticosteroid activity. This medication is widely used in various gynecological conditions where progesterone supplementation is required or where there is a deficiency of endogenous progesterone. Its primary actions include regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining, and counteracting the proliferative effects of estrogen on the endometrium. Dydrogesterone is well-tolerated and plays a crucial role in managing menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and supporting fertility treatments.
