Cyclogest contains micronised progesterone which is a natural, female sex hormone, produced in the body.
Cyclogest works by adjusting the hormonal balance within the body for the treatment of:
•pre-menstrual syndrome which often affects women during the 7 to 10 days before their monthly period. The symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome include feelings of tension, irritability, depression, headache, breast tenderness, weight gain and bloatedness
•post-natal depression which some women get after their baby has been born.
The recommended dose is 200 mg once a day or 400 mg twice a day by vaginal or rectal insertion.
The pessary may be inserted into either the vagina or rectum (back passage) depending upon the following certain other conditions.
