This guide will explore the key benefits, features, dosage, and frequently asked questions about DABROSTON 10, helping you understand how this medication can support your health and well-being.

Key Features and Ingredients of DABROSTON 10

DABROSTON 10 contains the following active ingredient:

• Dydrogesterone (10mg): Dydrogesterone is a synthetic progestogen that mimics the action of progesterone, a hormone naturally produced by the ovaries during the second half of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. It helps in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy, and treating conditions caused by progesterone deficiency.

Key Features of DABROSTON 10:

• Hormone Replacement: Dydrogesterone acts as a substitute for the body's natural progesterone, helping to manage conditions that arise from progesterone deficiencies.
• No Androgenic Effects: Unlike some synthetic progestins, Dydrogesterone has minimal androgenic (male hormone-like) effects, making it a preferred choice for women with a history of unwanted hair growth or other androgenic side effects.
• Oral Administration: The medication is taken orally in the form of tablets, making it easy to use and administer as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Benefits of DABROSTON 10

1. Regulates Menstrual Cycle:

   • DABROSTON 10 is often used to regulate irregular menstrual cycles. It helps restore a proper hormonal balance, particularly when there is insufficient progesterone during the luteal phase of the cycle.

2. Supports Pregnancy:

   • For women with progesterone deficiency, DABROSTON 10 can help support early pregnancy, especially in those who have a history of miscarriages or are at risk for preterm labor. The medication helps maintain the uterine lining, which is essential for the embryo's implantation and survival.

3. Treats Hormonal Imbalances:

   • DABROSTON 10 is effective in managing hormonal disorders such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (irregular or heavy bleeding due to hormonal imbalance) and endometriosis. It helps regulate the shedding of the uterine lining and supports proper hormonal function.

4. Management of Endometriosis:

   • In women with endometriosis, DABROSTON 10 is often used as part of a treatment regimen to suppress the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. By regulating progesterone levels, the medication helps reduce symptoms like pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.

5. Prevents Miscarriage:

   • For women who have had recurrent miscarriages due to luteal phase defects (inadequate progesterone production), DABROSTON 10 can help stabilize the pregnancy by supporting the uterine lining and promoting a healthy environment for the developing fetus.
