Cyclogest 200mg Pessary Progesterone, Pack of 15
What Cyclogest is and what it is used for
Cyclogest 200mg Pessary is a medication used to treat various conditions in women, such as insufficient progesterone levels and endometrial hyperplasia. It is a natural, female sex hormone, produced in the body and helps to maintain regular monthly periods.
Cyclogest is also known as Amelgen
Cyclogest works by adjusting the hormonal balance within the body for the treatment of:
- pre-menstrual syndrome which often affects women during the 7 to 10 days before their monthly period. The symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome include feelings of tension, irritability, depression, headache, breast tenderness, weight gain and bloatedness
- post-natal depression which some women get after their baby has been born.
What is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS )
PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is the name for the symptoms women can experience in the weeks before their period. Most women have PMS at some point. You can get help if it affects your daily life.
Each woman’s symptoms are different and can vary from month to month.
The most common symptoms of PMS include:
- mood swings
- feeling upset, anxious or irritable
- tiredness or trouble sleeping
- bloating or tummy pain
- breast tenderness
- headaches
- spotty skin
- greasy hair
- changes in appetite and sex drive
DO
exercise regularly
eat a healthy, balanced diet – you may find that eating frequent smaller meals (every 2-3 hours) suits you better than eating 3 larger meals a day
get plenty of sleep – 7 to 8 hours is recommended
try reducing your stress by doing yoga or meditation
take painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol to ease the pain
keep a diary of your symptoms for at least 2 to 3 menstrual cycles – you can take this to a GP appointment
DON’T
do not smoke
do not drink too much alcohol
See a GP if:
- things you can do to help are not working
- your symptoms are affecting your daily life
A GP can advise you on treatments that can help.
As well as changes to your lifestyle, a GP can recommend treatments including:
- hormonal medicine – such as the combined contraceptive pill
- cognitive behavioural therapy – a talking therapy
- antidepressants
- dietary supplements
If you still get symptoms after trying these treatments, you may be referred to a specialist.
This could be a gynaecologist, psychiatrist or counsellor.
COMPLIMENTARY THERAPIES AND DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
Complimentary therapies and dietary supplements may help with PMS, but the evidence of their effectiveness is limited.
They can include:
- acupuncture
- reflexology
- supplements such as vitamin B6, calcium and vitamin D and magnesium (check with a GP or pharmacist if you are also taking medicines before starting to take regular supplements)
It’s not fully understood why women get PMS.
But it may be because of changes in their hormone levels during the menstrual cycle.
Some women may be more affected by these changes than others.
A small number of women may experience more severe symptoms of PMS known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Symptoms of PMDD are similar to PMS but are much more intense and can have a much greater negative impact on your daily activities and quality of life.
Symptoms can include:
- physical symptoms such as cramps, headaches and joint and muscle pain
- behavioural symptoms such as binge eating and problems sleeping
- mental and emotional symptoms, such as feeling very anxious, angry, depressed or, in some cases, even suicidal
If you need urgent advice you can:
- call a GP and ask for an emergency appointment
- call 111 out of hours (they will help you find the support and help you need)
- call a helpline, such as the Samaritans (call free on 116 123)
If you feel that you may be about to harm yourself, call 999 for an ambulance or go straight to A&E. Or you can ask someone else to call 999 or take you to A&E.
Read more about getting urgent help for mental health problems.
The exact causes of PMDD are unknown but it has been linked to sensitivity to changes in hormones or certain genetic variations (differences in genes) you can inherit from your parents.

How To Use
How to use Cyclogest
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
The recommended dose is 200 mg once a day or 400 mg twice a day by vaginal or rectal insertion.
The pessary may be inserted into either the vagina or rectum (back passage) depending upon the following certain other conditions.
You should insert Cyclogest into the:
- vagina if you have:
- colitis (inflammation of the colon causing frequent attacks of diarrhoea with mucous or blood)
- problems controlling your bowel movements (faecal incontinence).
- rectum (back passage) if you have:
- a vaginal infection (discharge from your vagina)
- or often have cystitis (a burning pain on passing water)
- recently given birth
- to use a barrier method of birth control such as a diaphragm, cap or condom. Such devices may not work properly in the presence of the hard fat from the pessary.
For premenstrual tension start using Cyclogest on day 12 or 14 of your menstrual cycle. This can be planned and marked onto your calendar, day 1 is the first day of your monthly period, counting forward to day 12 or 14 as advised by your doctor.
Do not swallow Cyclogest.
How to insert Cyclogest
Always wash your hands before and after inserting the pessary.
To insert into the:
- Vagina – place the pessary between the lips of the vagina and push the pessary upwards and backwards. You may find it easier to do this if you are lying down or squatting.
- Rectum (back passage) – gently push the pessary into the rectum for about one inch.
Your muscles will hold the pessary in place when it is in far enough. Squeeze your buttocks together for a few seconds.
If you use more Cyclogest than you should
If you (or someone else) has accidentally swallowed any of the pessaries or you use too many, contact your nearest hospital casualty department or your doctor immediately for advice.
If you forget to use Cyclogest
If you forget to insert a pessary, do so as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Never use two doses together. Remember to use the remaining doses at the correct time.
If you stop using Cyclogest
Please consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you intend to stop or have stopped using Cyclogest. Abrupt discontinuation of progesterone dosing may cause increased anxiety, moodiness, and increased sensibility to seizures.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Caution / Warning

- have unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been evaluated by the doctor,
- have known or suspected tumour that is hormone sensitive,
- have porphyria disorders (a group of inherited or acquired disorders of certain enzymes),
- have or have had blood clots in the legs, lungs, eyes or elsewhere in the body,
- currently have or have had severe liver problems.

- cardiac or renal dysfunction
- diabetes
Children
There is no relevant use of Cyclogest in children.
Other medicines and Cyclogest
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This is especially important in case you are taking carbamazepine (e.g. to prevent fits, treat certain type of pain or mood disorders), rifampicin (to treat infections) or phenytoin (e.g. to prevent fits or treat certain type of pain) as they may decrease the effectiveness of progesterone.
Using other vaginal products at the same time as Cyclogest is used vaginally is not recommended as it is not known if it affects the treatment.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
The risks of congenital (conditions present at birth) anomalies, including genital abnormalities in male or female infants, from exposure to exogenous progesterone during pregnancy have not been fully established.
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
This medicine should not be used during breast feeding.
