Utrogestan also known as Progesterone capsules contain the active ingredient progesterone, which is a naturally occurring female sex hormone. This medicine is used in combination with another sex hormone oestrogen, for hormone replacement therapy in women who have an intact uterus.
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).Women's ovaries gradually produce less and less oestrogen in the period up to the menopause, and oestrogen blood levels decline as a result.
e.
Oestrogen can be given as a supplement to replace the falling levels in the body and help reduce these distressing symptoms of the menopause. This is known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
