WHAT UTROGESTAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR The name of your medicine is Utrogestan 100mg Capsules (called Utrogestan in this leaflet). Utrogestan contains a hormone called progesterone and is to be used with another medicine called oestrogen. The combination of Utrogestan and oestrogen belongs to a group of medicines called hormone replacement therapy (HRT). WHAT UTROGESTAN IS USED FOR 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). Utrogestan is not a contraceptive. HOW UTROGESTAN WORKS • As you get near to the menopause, the amount of the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone in your body goes down. • HRT like Utrogestan replaces these hormones and helps reduce the symptoms of the menopause. WHY UTROGESTAN IS TAKEN WITH OESTROGEN • If your HRT contains only oestrogen the lining of the womb could build up. This can cause problems. • By taking Utrogestan as well, this makes you shed the womb lining. This prevents these problems happening. • You might get some bleeding at the end of each month, সম্পূর্ণ নথি পড়ুন
