Progynova 2 mg, effective for menopausal treatment.

Progynova 2 mg tablet is a female sexual hormone (estrogen). This is a kind of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and itching), oestrogen insufficiency, and bone weakening (osteoporosis).

   

Progynova 2 mg tablet is sometimes used in combination with other anticancer medications to treat breast and prostate cancer. The medication must be taken with water. It may be taken with or without meals; however, it is best if taken at the same time every day. Your doctor will determine the best dose and time for you to manage your symptoms.

Complete the entire course of therapy without missing any doses. The therapy should not be stopped abruptly without seeing your doctor, since this may reduce the strength of the medication.

Headaches, irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting, breast soreness, stomach cramps or nausea, bloating, vomiting, and hair loss are the most prevalent adverse effects of this HRT. Breast lumps, chest discomfort, dizziness and faintness, leg pains, irregular vaginal bleeding, severe headaches, shortness of breath, and other symptoms necessitate rapid medical treatment.

BENEFITS

• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medication that is used to treat menopausal symptoms such as mood swings, hot flushes, vaginal dryness, night sweats, and reduced sex desire.

Because menopause can last for years, this therapy can make a significant difference in your everyday life and mood. Progesterone and oestrogen are the two main hormones used in this therapy. You should take this pill as prescribed by your doctor and for the duration prescribed.

• Postmenopausal osteoporosis

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a condition in which the body's oestrogen levels are low, resulting in weak and fragile bones. Back pain, changes in posture, and other symptoms are common. Progynova 2 mg tablet is designed to prevent and treat osteoporosis symptoms in postmenopausal women.

• Post-menopausal symptoms

A post-menopausal symptom is a combination of symptoms that occur following menopause (the end of menstrual cycles). Vaginal dryness and itching, hot flushes, irritability, and mood swings are all possible symptoms. Progynova 2 MG Tablet works by adjusting the levels of hormones (chemical messengers) in your body that cause these symptoms.

Disease glossary

·         Menopause

Menopause is the moment when your menstrual cycles come to an end. Menopause can begin in your 40s or 50s, although the average age is 51.

Menopause is a completely natural biological process. However, the physical and mental symptoms of menopause, can interrupt your sleep, diminish your energy, and damage your emotional health. There are several effective therapies available, ranging from lifestyle changes to hormone medication.

Period skips are typical and expected during menopause. Menstrual cycles frequently skip a month and then return, or skip many months and then resume monthly cycles for a few months. Pregnancy is possible, even with irregular periods. Consider a pregnancy test if you have missed a period but are not sure if you've entered menopause.
