Product Introduction
Aquagest 25mg Injection contains progesterone as its active component. Progesterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. It is produced mainly by the ovaries after ovulation, but the placenta can also produce it during pregnancy and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands. Patients with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to progesterone or any of its components should avoid this medication. It may not be recommended for patients with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, certain types of cancer (e.g., breast cancer, liver cancer), a history of blood clotting disorders, or undiagnosed vaginal bleeding. These conditions can increase the risk of complications or may be exacerbated by Aquagest 25mg Injection. In some cases, patients with certain hormonal imbalances, such as uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or poorly managed diabetes, may need careful monitoring or adjustment of their medication regimen when using this medication.
