In the article, we consider the instructions, price and reviews for the Proginova medication.
Despite the couple’s desire to give birth to a baby, the planned pregnancy in humans, however, may not occur for a long time. In the event that, in the presence of a regular sexual life, it is not possible to become pregnant and recommendations for a healthy lifestyle do not work, the doctor may prescribe drug therapy. Often, when planning pregnancy, a drug called Proginova is quite effective. Reviews about the drug are abundant.
It contains estrogens, which are a synthetic analogue of estradiol (a hormone produced by the ovaries). The effect of this drug is based on improving blood circulation, which reduces the likelihood of pregnancy termination. Against this background, "Proginova" does not suppress the process of ovulation and does not interfere with the production of necessary hormones in the body of a woman.
Manufacturer of tablets "Proginova" SCHERING AG {Germany}.
The composition of the drug
One pill of the drug in question contains an active ingredient called estradiol valerate. In one tablet is 2 milligrams of this remedy. In addition, there are various additional ingredients that include lactose monohydrate.
Reviews about "Progin" when planning pregnancy are mostly positive.
Indications for use
The drug is prescribed to women in a number of the following cases:
- If there is a need to build up enough endometrium so that the fetus can take root.
- In case of low estrogen levels.
- In the event that the previous pregnancy was terminated.
- In order to improve the nutrition of the placenta with blood.
- As part of the preparation of the patient for IVF.
One of the main causes of infertility or often interrupted pregnancy is the thin endometrium. Insufficiently dense and thin endometrium does not allow the fertilized egg to attach to the uterine wall, and at the same time, firmly hold there for a sufficient time. For example, in the first case, conception simply does not occur, but in the second it is interrupted.
It is especially important to build up a dense layer of the endometrium before performing the IVF procedure in order to help a woman’s uterus to keep an egg that has been planted. Thanks to the use of the drug, the endometrium becomes thicker and gives a chance for successful bearing of the fetus.
Reviews about the "Progin" when planning pregnancy confirm this.
