Maintane 500mg Injection

Maintane 500mg Injection contains the active ingredient hydroxyprogesterone, a synthetic progestin classified as a hormonal therapy. It is indicated to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with a history of spontaneous preterm delivery. This hormone supports the uterine environment and aids in pregnancy maintenance. Maintane 500mg Injection is administered as an intramuscular injection and functions as a supportive therapy requiring strict medical supervision. It is contraindicated in women with hormone-sensitive cancers, active liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Patients must inform their doctor of any history of clotting disorders or allergies. Caution is warranted in those with hypertension, diabetes, or epilepsy. This medication must be used under medical guidance to ensure both maternal and fetal safety.

Prevention of recurrent preterm birth in women with a singleton pregnancy and a history of spontaneous preterm delivery Adjunct in treating amenorrhea (as per specific protocols) Management of selected gynecological hormone imbalances (off-label)

Maintane 500mg Injection helps maintain pregnancy by mimicking the action of the natural hormone progesterone. It stabilizes the lining of the uterus and prevents early contractions that may lead to preterm birth. Unlike some hormonal treatments, it does not stimulate the uterus but works gently to support fetal development. This makes it a preventive therapy for women with a history of early labor, helping to reduce the chances of recurrence.

Maintane 500mg Injection is given as a 250 mg intramuscular injection, usually once weekly. It is administered by a healthcare professional into the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal muscle. It should not be self-injected. Food does not affect the action of this drug.

Maintane 500mg Injection should be used under regular medical supervision. Always attend scheduled visits for monitoring and injection. Do not stop the treatment without consulting your doctor, even if you feel fine. Avoid using any hormonal products, herbal remedies, or supplements without prior approval. Inform any new doctor about your ongoing therapy, especially before surgeries or new prescriptions. Keep a record of doses taken for your and your doctor’s reference.
