About
Dydrogesterone is a synthetic progestogen that is orally active and structurally similar to natural progesterone. This sustained-release formulation of Dydrogesterone provides a prolonged and steady therapeutic effect, which can improve patient compliance and maintain consistent hormone levels. It selectively acts on the endometrium, inducing a full secretory transformation in an estrogen-primed uterus, which is vital for successful implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. Unlike some other progestogens, dydrogesterone lacks estrogenic, androgenic, anabolic, or corticosteroid activity, making it a highly specific progestogen. It is widely used in conditions of progesterone deficiency, such as threatened or recurrent miscarriage, and in hormone replacement therapy to protect the endometrium from the proliferative effects of estrogen. Its sustained action contributes to better management of chronic gynecological conditions.
