Utrogestan 100mg (3 boxes)

Contain the female sex-hormone :Progesterone. They are taken as part of-HRT for the-menopause. In women with an intact womb,oestrogen based-HRT stimulates the growth and build-up of the womb lining (endometrium). This can lead to endometrial cancer if the growth is unopposed. Progesterone-works by opposing oestrogen's effect on the womb lining. Utrogestan-capsules are taken as part of each monthly oestrogen-cycle. The progesterone-causes the womb lining to be shed as a bleed, like a period. This reduces the risk of endometrial cancer, though it does not eliminate this risk entirely. Taking-progesterone with-oestrogen is known as combined-HRT. 

What is it used for?

It is used for women who have not had a hysterectomy, who are taking-oestrogen based-hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the-menopause. Utrogestan-is used to oppose the effect of the-oestrogen on the womb lining and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer in these women.
