Benefits of Dubagest Vaginal gel

In Hormone replacement therapy

Hormone placement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood. Progesterone is one of two important hormones (the other being is estrogen) used in this treatment. However, it may not treat all your symptoms, consult with your doctor. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.

In Treatment of Female infertility

Dubagest Vaginal gel contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. This medicine helps to prepare the uterus for pregnancy by causing the uterus lining (endometrium) to thicken. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant.

Quick tips

Dubagest Vaginal gel helps increase your chances of getting pregnant by replacing low levels of progesterone during luteal phase. It prepares the lining of your uterus to receive and nourish a fertilized egg.
If you become pregnant, Dubagest Vaginal gel can be used for another 10 to 12 weeks until your progesterone levels are high enough.
It also helps regulate menstrual cycle in women who do not have a regular period due to a decrease in the hormone progesterone.
It exposes your body to less hormone compared to progesterone pills or injections thereby preventing various gastric side effects.
Do not use tampons or other vaginal products for at least 6 hours before and 6 hours after using Dubagest Vaginal gel.
You may get a brownish or white discharge during this time that may cause irritation, pain or swelling of the vagina. It is not unusual, but talk to your doctor if it bothers you.
