About Dydrosure 10mg Tablet

DYDROGESTERONE refers to the class of drugs known as steroid hormones. It is also used in combination with estrogens for hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women and low sex hormone levels in women. Infertility is the inability to conceive within 12 months. On the other hand, Premenstrual syndrome comprises signs and symptoms like mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability, and depression. It occurs during certain days of the menstrual periods in females, generally just before their menses.

DYDROGESTERONE is a female hormone that controls women's ovulation and menstruation. DYDROGESTERONE causes secretive changes in the endometrium lining of the uterus, promotes the development of the breast, relaxes the uterus, blocks the maturation and release of the follicle, and retains pregnancy.

DYDROGESTERONE is available in various forms which can be taken by mouth, vagina, through injection into the muscle, and other routes. DYDROGESTERONE is also available in the vaginal ring and intrauterine (IU) device which is used for birth control. You can take DYDROGESTERONE without food and preferably in the evening or at bedtime. In some cases you may have breast tenderness, swelling in other parts of the body, headaches, migraines, mood swings, depression, acne, tummy (abdominal) pain, back pain, and vaginal bleeding. Most of these side effects of DYDROGESTERONE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits of Dydrosure 10mg Tablet

DYDROGESTERONE is a female hormone that regulates ovulation and menstruation in women. It helps in maintaining a healthy womb lining during the pregnancy stage. DYDROGESTERONE helps in initiating the menses cycle (periods) in women who have not yet reached menopause.

DYDROGESTERONE is used for the regulation of the uterine lining in postmenopausal women receiving estrogens who have not removed their uterus through surgery. It also helps to treat the condition of amenorrhea (cessation or irregular menses cycle for more than three months). It is also given in combination with estrogens as part of menopausal replacement therapy. The injection form of DYDROGESTERONE is prescribed for treating abnormal bleeding from the uterus along with irregular or ceased menstrual cycles. The intravaginal gel form of DYDROGESTERONE assists in reproductive technology for infertile women with progesterone deficiency or irregular or ceased menstrual cycles. The vaginal insert form of DYDROGESTERONE supports early pregnancy and implantation of an embryo in the uterus. Off-label use of DYDROGESTERONE helps in reducing the risk of preterm birth.
