Medication details

Description

Utrogestan contiene una hormona llamada progesterona y debe tomarse junto con otro medicamento llamado estrógeno. La combinación de Utrogestan y estrógeno pertenece a un grupo de medicamentos llamados terapia de reemplazo hormonal (TRH).

A medida que se acerca la menopausia, la cantidad de hormonas femeninas estrógeno y progesterona en el cuerpo disminuye. La TRH como Utrogestan reemplaza estas hormonas y reduce los síntomas de la menopausia.

Por qué se toma Utrogestan con estrógeno: si su TRH contiene solo estrógeno, el revestimiento del útero podría acumularse y causar muchos problemas de salud. La toma de Utrogestan junto con estrógeno elimina el revestimiento del útero, evitando así que se produzcan estos problemas.

Directions

Tomar UNA (100 mg) cápsula al acostarse desde el día 1 hasta el día 25 de cada ciclo terapéutico.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Why should I take Utrogestan at bedtime?

Progesterone can cause drowsiness and dizziness. Taking it at bedtime means these effects happen while you are asleep rather than during the day. It should also be taken on an empty stomach, as food can affect how it is absorbed.

Is the bleeding at the end of each cycle normal?

Yes. A few days of withdrawal bleeding after each course of Utrogestan is expected and is a sign that the womb lining is shedding as intended. This is part of how it protects the womb when you are taking oestrogen. If you have unexpected or heavy bleeding, speak to a clinician.

Is Utrogestan a contraceptive?

No. Although it contains progesterone, Utrogestan is designed as part of HRT and does not work as a contraceptive. If you need contraception, discuss this separately with our pharmacy team at info@rightangled.com.

Do I need to tell my surgeon if I am having an operation?

Yes. You may need to stop HRT about four to six weeks before planned surgery to reduce the risk of blood clots. Tell your surgeon and our pharmacy team so the timing can be planned. Your clinician will let you know when it is safe to restart.
