Cynthogest 300mg Tablet SR

Introduction

Cynthogest is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Progesterone. It is available under the brand name Cynthogest. Progesterone is a hormone that is naturally produced in the body and plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system.

Uses

Cynthogest is primarily prescribed to women who have a progesterone deficiency or irregular menstrual cycles. It is also used to support pregnancy in women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Cynthogest will vary depending on the individual’s condition and the specific instructions provided by the healthcare professional. Follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully.

Generally, Cynthogest is taken orally, with or without food. It is typically recommended to take the tablet at the same time each day for optimal effectiveness. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, without crushing or chewing it.

Mechanism of Action

Progesterone, the active ingredient in Cynthogest, mimics the effects of the natural hormone progesterone in the body. It acts by binding to progesterone receptors and regulating the menstrual cycle. Progesterone is also involved in the preparation of the uterus for pregnancy and the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, breast tenderness, headache, dizziness, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as severe abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), seek immediate medical attention.

Cynthogest may interact with other medications, supplements, or herbal products. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions. Some common drug interactions may include:
