Dirogest Tablets 10mg

Dirogest Tablets 10mg contains Dydrogesterone 10mg, a progestogen hormone. Made by Zafa Pharmaceutical Labortories Ltd, it is prescribed for threatened or recurrent miscarriage, irregular periods, endometriosis and fertility support. Pack size: 20 tablets.

Uses of Dirogest Tablets 10mg

Dirogest Tablets 10mg is used for several conditions linked to low progesterone. These include threatened or recurrent miscarriage, support of the womb lining during fertility treatment (luteal support), irregular or painful periods, heavy bleeding, premenstrual syndrome and endometriosis. It is also used with oestrogen in hormone replacement therapy to protect the womb lining. It should be taken only on the advice of a doctor or gynaecologist.

How Dirogest Tablets 10mg works

Dydrogesterone is a synthetic hormone very similar to natural progesterone. It acts on the womb lining, helping it develop and stay stable, which supports early pregnancy and allows regular, controlled shedding during the menstrual cycle. Unlike some progestogens, it does not usually stop ovulation, so it is not a contraceptive.

Possible side effects

Most women take Dirogest Tablets 10mg without significant problems. The more common side effects are:

• Headache or migraine

Seek medical help promptly for heavy vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, a severe headache, or pain and swelling in one leg.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or a history of hormone-dependent cancer, depression or porphyria.
• Let your doctor know about other medicines, especially epilepsy medicines, rifampicin and St John’s wort, which can reduce its effect.
• If you are using Dirogest Tablets 10mg during pregnancy, follow your gynaecologist’s instructions closely and do not stop on your own.
• It may cause mild dizziness or drowsiness in some people, so take care with driving until you know how it affects you.
