Product introduction
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel should be inserted deep into the vagina exactly as prescribed. Use the medicine regularly and at the same time each day to maintain consistent support during early pregnancy. Treatment should always be guided by a doctor, and any ongoing bleeding or new symptoms should be reported promptly, as further evaluation may be required.
Most women tolerate EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel well. Rarely, local side effects such as mild vaginal irritation, itching, burning sensation, or oily discharge may occur. These effects are usually mild and short-lived. If symptoms become bothersome or persistent, consult your doctor.
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel should be used only during the first trimester for the prevention of miscarriage. Any vaginal bleeding should always be investigated before and during treatment. The medicine should not be used in women with undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, severe liver disease, hormone-dependent cancers, thromboembolic disorders, or known allergy to progesterone or any ingredient in the product.
Uses of EMPRogest Vaginal gel
- Prevention of Miscarriage
Benefits of EMPRogest Vaginal gel
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel helps in the prevention of miscarriage, especially in women who experience bleeding in early pregnancy and have a history of recurrent pregnancy loss. It supports the pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining, helping the womb stay relaxed, and creating a favourable environment for the developing embryo. Vaginal administration delivers progesterone directly to the uterus, ensuring effective local action with lower exposure to the rest of the body. This helps improve the chances of continuing the pregnancy and provides reassurance and stability during a critical early phase of pregnancy.

Quick tips
- Insert EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel deep into the vagina while lying down, preferably at bedtime, to reduce leakage and help the medicine stay in place longer.
- Use the medicine at regular times every day to maintain consistent hormonal support during early pregnancy.
- Avoid skipping doses, especially during the first trimester, as this is a crucial period for supporting pregnancy.
- Inform your doctor immediately if vaginal bleeding increases, becomes painful, or is accompanied by cramps or fever.
- Avoid using other vaginal products such as douches, creams, or pessaries unless specifically prescribed, as they may interfere with treatment.
