Product introduction

Proxy 10mg Tablet is similar to the progesterone hormone naturally produced by the body. It regulates periods, stops irregular bleeding, and helps with withdrawal bleeding in cases of amenorrhea (unusual stopping of menstrual periods).

It is a progestin.

Benefits of Proxy Tablet

In Treatment of Amenorrhea

Proxy 10mg Tablet 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. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. Avoid any stress and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Improving weight and nutrition may be recommended in females with eating disorders or malnutrition to get the maximum benefit from Proxy 10mg Tablet.

In Treatment of Abnormal uterine bleeding

Proxy 10mg Tablet is a synthetic progestin that replicates the effect of a natural female hormone called progesterone. It slows the growth of the lining of the womb before menstruation, which reduces the bleeding during menstruation. If heavy periods become such a problem that they interfere with your everyday life, then try taking things a little easier on those days. Some women find that relaxation techniques or yoga help them feel more relaxed and reduce stress. Getting a lot of exercise can also help.

In Treatment of Endometriosis

Proxy 10mg Tablet 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. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. Avoid any stress and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Improving weight and nutrition may be recommended in females with eating disorders or malnutrition to get the maximum benefit from Proxy 10mg Tablet.
