Product Introduction

Individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Progesterone or any of the injection’s components should not use this medication. Aquagest 22.35 mg Injection may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, certain types of cancer (e.g., breast cancer or liver cancer), a history of blood clotting disorders, or undiagnosed vaginal bleeding.
