Progynova 1 & 2 mg

What is Progynova used for ;

Progynova tablets 2mg are a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to substitute for a lack of oestrogen production by the ovaries that happens during menopause or following surgical removal of the ovaries, to relieve symptoms of menopause caused by oestrogen deficiency, such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleeplessness, vaginal dryness, headaches, mood swings, lack of concentration and loss of energy. Progynova tablets 2mg are also used to help prevent postmenopausal bone loss (osteoporosis) and reduce risk of fracture. Progynova stimulates the development of female sexual characteristics, and is used as the oestrogen component of transgender hormone therapy for male to female transsexuals.

How  Progynova works:

Progynova tablets 2mg contain oestradiol valerate, a prodrug (or precursor) of natural human oestradiol, which is the major and most active form of the female sex hormone oestrogen, produced by the ovaries. Oestrogen is a steroid hormone that binds to specific receptors inside oestrogen-responsive cells and stimulates them to make proteins involved in producing female sexual characteristics, such as breast development and in regulating the menstrual cycle. Oestrogen also has several other actions in various metabolic processes including maintaining bone mass and lipid (fat) metabolism.
What does Progynova contain?

Progynova contains the active ingredient oestradiol valerate, a prodrug (or precursor) of 17 beta-oestradiol, the major and most active form of oestrogen produced by the ovaries, and is used for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Progynova also contains lactose monohydrate, maize starch, polyvidone 25 000, talc, magnesium stearate, sucrose, polyvidone 700 000, macrogol 6000, calcium carbonate, glycerol 85%, titanium dioxide, indigo carmine lake, montanglycol wax

Progynova for transgender treatment

Progynova tablets 2mg can be used as part of a gender reassignment program for male to female transsexuals, by providing a source of oestradiol, the most active form of the female hormone oestrogen. Progynova tablets 2mg stimulate the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and also induce metabolic changes such as fat distribution to redefine the general body shape.

Progynova for feminising hormone therapy:

Progynova tablets 2mg contain oestradiol valerate, a prodrug (or precursor) of natural 17β-oestradiol, the most feminising form of the female hormone oestrogen, which provides a very effective means of feminisation when used as part of a gender reassignment program for male to female transsexuals. Progynova 2mg stimulates the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and also induces metabolic changes such as fat distribution to redefine the general body shape, while at the same time Progynova overrides the effects of testosterone.
