Progyluton (estradiol) is a hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) that treats irregularities in the menstrual cycle and pre-menstrual disturbance. It is not a contraceptive.

Progyluton acts as an estrogen supplement that boosts the levels of this sex hormone that declines as women age and pass from pre-menopause into full menopause. Lower estrogen levels can also be caused by ovarian disorders, pituitary gland misfunction, or from surgical removal of the ovaries (hysterectomy or oophorectomy). Along with estrogen, Progyluton supplied small quantities of progesterone, which are required to lower the risk of ovarian cancer that accompanies estrogen supplements.

Dosage

The dose and regimen is set by the prescribing doctor. The usual dose is one tablet each day for 21 days, in the sequence of days-of-the week as determined by the first day on which the dosage is started. . The tablets are color-coded so that white tablets are taken on days 1-11, followed by brown tablets for the next 11 days. After 21 days, there is a 7 days rest. It is also important to set a timetable and adhere to the set time.
