Product Introduction

Nidaglan 200mg Capsule contains progesterone, an active ingredient belonging to the class of medicines known as hormone replacement therapy [HRT]. Progesterone is a hormone essential to the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. It is produced primarily by the ovaries following ovulation; the placenta also produces it during pregnancy, and the adrenal glands produce it in smaller quantities.

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to progesterone or any of its components. Do not use if you are allergic to soya. Nidaglan 200mg Capsule is not advised if you have breast cancer or any cancer that is oestrogen receptor sensitive. Do not use if you have a clotting disorder or blood clot in the veins (lungs or legs) and unexplained vaginal bleeding. Do not use if you have had a heart attack, stroke, angina, or abnormal liver function tests. It is not given to patients with porphyria, a rare inherited blood disorder. Use in children is not advised.

In certain cases, patients with specific hormonal imbalances, such as uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or poorly managed diabetes, may require careful monitoring or adjustment of their medication regimen when using this medication. Do not use Nidaglan 200mg Capsule if you are planning to become pregnant, believe you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you are under 50 years old or your last menstrual cycle was less than one year ago, additional contraceptive use may be necessary to prevent pregnancy.

Inform your doctor of your medical history before beginning treatment. Provide your healthcare provider with information regarding all medicines you are taking, including herbal products, vitamins, and over-the-counter medicines.

How it works

The therapeutic effect of Nidaglan 200mg Capsule is to regulate and support various reproductive processes in the body, including the menstrual cycle, fertility treatments, hormone replacement therapy, and pregnancy maintenance.

It can also be used in contraception to inhibit ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and create an unfavorable environment for sperm, thus preventing pregnancy.

Expert Tips

It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, including liver or kidney impairment, epilepsy, or cardiovascular diseases. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Do not smoke while taking this medication, as this may increase your chances of a blood clot. It is recommended to examine your breast (mammogram) to avoid the risk of breast cancer caused by the drug and inform your doctor if you have any changes in skin color. It is recommended not to stop medication on your own because treatment results may be impacted by hormone balance disruption. Reduce your exposure to stressful events and learn stress-reduction strategies because stress can alter hormone levels and perhaps compromise the efficacy of Nidaglan 200mg Capsule medication.
