PROGEtar-H-500
Description_Effects
PROGEtar-H-500 contains Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate 500mg, a synthetic form of the natural female hormone progesterone. It belongs to a class of medications known as progestins and is primarily used in the prevention of preterm birth in women who are at high risk of delivering too early. This hormone plays a vital role during pregnancy. It works by preparing and maintaining the lining of the uterus, allowing the embryo to implant and grow. Hydroxyprogesterone also helps to relax the uterine muscles, thereby preventing early contractions that could lead to premature labor or miscarriage. In addition, it supports the overall hormonal balance necessary for a healthy and full-term pregnancy. PROGEtar-H-500 is typically administered as a weekly intramuscular injection, under medical supervision. It may be prescribed to women with a history of spontaneous preterm births or those identified to be at high obstetric risk. While it is generally well-tolerated, regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness. Possible side effects include injection site reactions, swelling, or mild discomfort, which usually subside on their own. PROGEtar-H-500 is a crucial part of preventive therapy in obstetrics for supporting a full-term and healthy pregnancy.
