Pharmacology (Source, Chemical and Physical Composition) Of Progency 10 mg

Dydrogesterone is an orally-active progestogen which produces a complete secretory endometrium in an estrogen-primed uterus thereby providing protection against the increased risk for endometrium hyperplasia and carcinogenesis induced by estrogens. It is indicated in all cases of endogenous progesterone deficiency. Dydrogesterone has no estrogenic, no androgenic, no thermogenic, no anabolic and no corticoid activity.

Precautions And Warnings for Progency 10 mg

Before initiating dydrogesterone treatment for abnormal bleeding the etiology for the bleeding should be clarified. Breakthrough bleeding and spotting may occur during the first months of treatment. If breakthrough bleeding or spotting appears after some time on therapy, or continues after treatment has been discontinued, the reason should be investigated, which may include endometrial biopsy to exclude endometrial malignancy. If one of the following disorders occurs during use for the first time or gets worse, stopping the treatment should be considered.

Severe headache, migraine or symptoms that may indicate cerebral ischemia.
Marked increase in blood pressure.
Occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE)

In cases of habitual or threatened abortion, the viability of the fetus should be ascertained. It is also necessary to monitor during treatment whether the pregnancy is still progressing and whether the embryo is still alive. Treatment with dydrogesterone has infrequently been associated with alterations in liver function, sometimes accompanied by clinical symptoms. Thus, dydrogesterone should be used with caution in patients with acute liver disease or a history of liver disease as long as liver function tests have failed to return to normal. In cases of severe hepatic impairment treatment should be discontinued.Patients with a history of depression must be carefully monitored; if severe depression recurs, treatment with dydrogesterone must be stopped.
