Utrogestan 100mg Capsules is a unique product that helps to relieve menopausal symptoms and provides Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It is indicated for adjunctive use with estrogen in post-menopausal women with an intact uterus. This innovative product helps to reduce hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and discomfort, mood swings, and other menopausal symptoms. Additionally, Utrogestan 100mg Capsules can also help to prevent osteoporosis and improve heart health. It is a safe and effective product that has been clinically tested and proven to provide relief from menopausal symptoms.
Utrogestan contains a hormone called progesterone and is to be used with another medicine called oestrogen. The combination of Utrogestan and oestrogen belongs to a group of medicines called hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
What Utrogestan is used for
Utrogestan is used to reduce the symptoms of the menopause (change of life).
• It is used only in women who still have a womb (uterus). Utrogestan is not a contraceptive.
How Utrogestan works
• As you get near to menopause, the amount of the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone in your body goes down.
• HRT like Utrogestan replaces these hormones and helps reduce the symptoms of menopause.
Why Utrogestan is taken with oestrogen
• If your HRT contains only oestrogen the lining of the womb could build up. This can cause problems.
• By taking Utrogestan as well, this makes you shed the womb lining.
This prevents these problems from happening.
• You might get some bleeding at the end of each month, rather like a period
What is Menopause?
The menopause is when a woman stops havingperiods and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally.
Periods usually start to become less frequent over a few months or years before they stop altogether. Sometimes they can stop suddenly.
The menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman’s oestrogen levels decline. In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51.
But around 1 in 100 women experience the menopause before 40 years of age. This is known as premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency.
Most women will experience menopausal symptoms. Some of these can be quite severe and have a significant impact on your everyday activities.
Menopausal symptoms can begin months or even years before your periods stop and last around 4 years after your last period, although some women experience them for much longer.
WHAT CAUSES THE MENOPAUSE?
The menopause is caused by a change in the balance of the body’s sex hormones, which occurs as you get older.
It happens when your ovaries stop producing as much of the hormone oestrogen and no longer release an egg each month.
Premature or early menopause can occur at any age, and in many cases there’s no clear cause.

Medical check-ups
Before you start taking HRT, your doctor should ask about your own and your family’s medical history. Your doctor may decide to examine your breasts or your tummy, and may do an internal examination. They will only do this if it is necessary for you or if you have any special concerns.
Once you have started on HRT, see your doctor for regular check-ups
(at least once a year). At these check-ups, your doctor may discuss
the benefits and risks of continuing to take HRT.
In particular tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the
following medicines:
• Bromocriptine used for problems with the pituitary gland or
Parkinson’s Disease.
• Cyclosporin (used to suppress the immune system).
• Rifamycin medicines such as rifampicin.
• Ketoconazole (used for fungal infections).
Make sure that you:
• Go for regular breast screening and cervical smear tests.
• Regularly check your breasts for any changes such as dimpling of
the skin, changes in the nipple, or any lumps you can see or feel.
Taking other medicines
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have
recently taken any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained
without a prescription, including herbal medicines. This is because
Utrogestan can affect the way some other medicines work. Also
some other medicines can affect the way Utrogestan works.
If any of the above apply to you (or you are not sure), talk to your
doctor or pharmacist before taking Utrogestan.
Operations or tests
Tell your doctor if you are going to have surgery. You may need to
stop taking HRT for 4 to 6 weeks before an operation to reduce the
risk of a blood clot. Your doctor will tell you when you can start taking
HRT again.
