Composition:-
Dydrogesterone 10 mg
Uses:-
Dydrogesterone 10 mg is a synthetic hormone used to treat various conditions related to hormonal imbalances. It mimics the action of natural progesterone, a crucial hormone in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. This medication is commonly prescribed for conditions such as irregular menstrual cycles, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It is also used to support pregnancy in cases of recurrent miscarriages or to prevent early pregnancy loss by ensuring adequate progesterone levels.
Side Effects:-
- Nausea and Vomiting: Some patients may experience nausea and vomiting while taking dydrogesterone. These symptoms are usually mild and tend to improve as the body adjusts to the medication.
- Headache: Headaches are a common side effect and can vary in intensity. They usually diminish with continued use.
- Breast Tenderness: Breast tenderness or discomfort may occur in some women. This is often temporary and subsides over time.
- Mood Changes: Mood swings, irritability, and mild depression have been reported. It is important to monitor these symptoms and consult a healthcare provider if they become severe.
- Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. Immediate medical attention is needed if these occur.
- Irregular Menstrual Bleeding: Some women may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting between periods. This usually resolves with continued use of the medication
Indication:-
Dydrogesterone 10 mg is indicated for the treatment of menstrual disorders caused by a deficiency in endogenous progesterone. It is prescribed for managing secondary amenorrhea, which is the absence of menstrual periods in women who have previously had regular cycles. It is also used to treat endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and irregular bleeding. Additionally, dydrogesterone is indicated for hormone replacement therapy in women experiencing menopausal symptoms or for those with an intact uterus to counterbalance the effects of estrogen.
