Product Introduction

Vageston 100mg Injection contains the active ingredient Progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone that plays an essential role in the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. It is primarily produced by the ovaries after ovulation, while the placenta also produces it during pregnancy, with smaller amounts being secreted by the adrenal glands. Individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Progesterone or any of the ingredients in Vageston 100mg Injection should avoid using this medication. It may also not be suitable for patients with certain medical conditions, including liver disease, specific cancers such as breast or liver cancer, a history of blood clotting disorders, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. These conditions may increase the risk of complications or worsen during treatment with Vageston 100mg Injection. Additionally, patients with hormonal disorders, including uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or poorly managed diabetes, may require close medical supervision and possible adjustments to their treatment plan while receiving this medication.
