The drug "Utrozhestan" - an analogue of "Dufaston"

Recently, problems related to pregnancy have begun to arise more and more, it has become more difficult for women not only to become pregnant, but also to bear a child. Perhaps this is due to a large number of abortions, or maybe our ecology is to blame. To solve these problems, a tool such as Utrozhestan, an analogue of Dufaston, is often used. Both of these drugs are hormonal, and often their appointment causes concern in women. So why are these medicines needed?

Scope of hormonal drugs

The drug "Dufaston" is prescribed to those women whose pregnancy is under threat of termination. The composition of this medicine contains a component similar to the natural hormone progesterone, the lack of which can lead to miscarriage or infertility. The analogue of Duphaston - Utrozhestan - is also designed to make up for the lack of progesterone, because if its amount in the body is normal, then the pregnancy proceeds normally. Due to the “pregnancy hormone”, the formation of the placenta takes place, thanks to it the fetus is not rejected, the pregnancy develops, the mammary glands undergo changes, the woman’s body is actively preparing for bearing, giving birth and feeding the baby.

Description of the drug "Duphaston"

This tool is hormonal and in its action is very similar to the action of the natural hormone progesterone. "Duphaston" as it were makes up for the missing amount of progesterone in the body of a woman. The drug is synthetic, due to which its absorption occurs in the digestive tract. The medicine does not disrupt the liver, during treatment the blood sugar level in the woman does not change and the metabolism is not impaired . Clinical trials passed by the medication made it possible to use Dufaston at a fairly early date. Doctors' reviews about him are positive, and this is not surprising, because with treatment he does not affect the development of the fetus. Taking this drug does not cause drowsiness. The Russian analogue of Dufaston cannot boast of this, since the domestic drug Utrozhestan has a sedative effect, which means it causes drowsiness, therefore, it is not recommended to drive after taking it.

Analogue of Duphaston

Utrozhestan (medicine) is another hormonal drug that has the same purpose as Dufaston, although there is a significant difference between these medicines. Dufaston is a synthetic medicine, and its “brother” contains the natural hormone progesterone, which was obtained from plant materials. The drug "Utrozhestan" is available in tablets or capsules and creates a calming effect. The analogue of the drug “Dufaston” is good to use if the body contains an increased amount of male hormones, since this medicine can significantly reduce their negative effect. Both of these drugs do not adversely affect ovulation and do not have contraceptive properties.
