What is Progynova 1 mg?
Progynova 1 mg is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medicine that contains Estradiol, a natural form of estrogen, the primary female sex hormone.
It is commonly prescribed to postmenopausal women to relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings, which occur when the body’s estrogen levels drop after menopause.
In addition to symptom relief, Progynova 1 mg also helps prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. It is a condition which weakens bones and increases fracture risk.
Manufactured by Bayer Zydus Pharma, Progynova is available on prescription and can be safely ordered online through Roychemist.
How Does Progynova 1 mg Work?
The Estradiol in Progynova 1 mg acts as a substitute for the body’s natural estrogen, which declines during menopause.
Restoring estrogen balance reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Also, it supports bone density, slows down bone loss and helps maintain skin elasticity and mood stability. Essentially, Progynova 1 mg rebalances hormonal levels to help women maintain physical comfort and overall well-being during and after menopause.
How to Take Progynova 1 mg?
Take the Progynova tablet once daily, at the same time each day, with a glass of water.
You may take it with or without food, and do not crush or chew the tablet.
Follow your doctor’s exact dosing schedule; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
If you forget a dose of Progynova, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s nearly time for your next dose.
Keep Consistency; taking Progynova at the same time daily helps maintain stable hormone levels.
