Product introduction
You should use Miprogen Vaginal gel as your doctor has advised. Do not use more or less than you have been advised and do not use it for longer than recommended. You may be asked to continue taking this medicine for a period after it is confirmed that you are pregnant.
The most common side effects include headache, feeling very tired, stomach cramps, pain or swelling in your abdomen and feeling sick. You may also feel bloated, less interested in sex and get pain or discharge in your vagina. Your doctor or nurse may be able to help you reduce or prevent side effects if they bother you or do not go away. Very occasionally people get a severe allergic reaction which needs urgent medical attention. Using this medicine may increase your risk of blood clots or breast cancer.
Miprogen Vaginal gel may not suit everybody, and you should tell your doctor if you have, or have had, breast cancer, unusual bleeding in the vagina or liver disease. You may be monitored more carefully if you have liver, kidney or heart problems or have diabetes or asthma. Let your doctor know your medical history to be safe. Check with your doctor about all other medicines which may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. You will probably have several tests both before and during treatment to check your womb. This medicine can alter your thinking or reactions and you may feel very tired so be careful if you drive or need to be alert. In general, alcohol is not recommended while taking this medicine.
Uses of Miprogen Vaginal gel
Benefits of Miprogen Vaginal gel
Miprogen Vaginal gel contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. Progesterone helps to prepare the uterus for pregnancy by causing the uterus lining (endometrium) to thicken. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant.
Hormone Placement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood. Progesterone is one of two important hormones (the other is estrogen) used in this treatment. Vaginal tablets and gels are an easy way to deliver hormones but may not treat all the symptoms. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.

Quick tips
- Miprogen Vaginal gel helps increase your chances of getting pregnant. It prepares the lining of your uterus to receive and nourish a fertilized egg.Â

- It also helps regulate menstrual cycle in women who do not have a regular period due to a decrease in the hormone progesterone.Â
- It exposes your body to less hormone invasion compared to pills or injections thereby preventing various gastric side effects.
