Description

What is Progynova?

Progynova is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) tablet that contains estradiol valerate, a synthetic form of the natural hormone estrogen. It is primarily used to alleviate symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. Additionally, it helps in preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at high risk of fractures.

How Does Progynova Work?

Progynova is a tablet that is used to treat women who are going through menopause. The main ingredient in Progynova is estradiol, which is a type of estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that is produced by the ovaries and it helps to control the menstrual cycle. When the ovaries stop producing estrogen, as happens during the menopause, this can cause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Progynova can help to relieve these symptoms by replacing the lost estrogen.

  • Inform your doctor of your pregnancy or breastfeeding status before taking Progynova.
  • Do not take Progynova if you have liver, kidney or heart disease without the approval of your doctor.
  • Stop taking Progynova immediately and consult your doctor if you experience unexpected vaginal bleeding or develop breast cancer.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol when using Progynova to avoid triggering severe side effects.
  • Stop using the patch when you experience adverse side effects and inform your doctor.
