It's also helpful in preventing miscarriage in early pregnancy and is used alongside estrogen in menopausal hormone therapy.

Drogyna Tablet contains dydrogesterone (10 mg), which has several mechanisms of action on the body:

Endometrium Preparation: Dydrogesterone prepares the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) for embryo implantation, which is crucial for maintaining pregnancy.
Uterine Lining Maintenance: It aids in maintaining a healthy uterine lining during pregnancy, supporting a favourable environment for the developing baby.
Reduction of Uterine Contractility: By reducing contractions in the uterus, dydrogesterone can help prevent miscarriages in early pregnancy.
Ovulation Inhibition: Dydrogesterone slows down ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), which can be beneficial in certain hormonal disorders.
Mammary Gland Development: It plays a role in developing mammary glands, which are essential for breastfeeding.
Blocking Oestrogen Activity: Dydrogesterone can block the activity of oestrogen on the endometrium, which can be helpful in managing conditions such as endometriosis.

Pregnancy

Drogyna Tablet should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It may cause harm to the foetus, so caution is advised. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

This medicine may affect milk production, so avoid breastfeeding while taking dydrogesterone. Always consult your doctor for guidance.
