Buy Utrogestan 100mg Online - Progesterone HRT

Menopause can sometimes feel like an emotional rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for. But you’re not alone - we’re here to help you manage your symptoms so you can get back to doing what you do best.

If you’re taking oestrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (HRT), Utrogestan 100mg could be just what you need to balance things out. Taking oestrogen alone can cause the lining of your womb to thicken and increase your risk of womb cancer.

These soft Utrogestan capsules contain natural progesterone - the same kind your body made before menopause - and are designed to work alongside oestrogen to protect your womb lining.

It’s only suitable if you still have your womb and if you’ve previously had a prescription for it from your doctor. But once that’s sorted, you’re good to get started.

If you’re ready to feel more like your old self again, getting started is simple. Just follow the steps for a quick consultation with one of our medical experts.

About Utrogestan 100mg Capsules

If you’re dealing with menopause symptoms like mood swings, hot flushes or anxiety, Utrogestan 100mg can help. Taken alongside oestrogen as part of combined HRT, it contains progesterone to protect your womb and stop the lining from thickening.

These soft capsules come in packs of 30 and are taken orally. While they’re not a contraceptive, they support your HRT journey, ease symptoms and help you get on with life feeling more comfortable and in control.

How Do Utrogestan 100mg Capsules Work?

During menopause, your natural oestrogen and progesterone levels drop, causing symptoms like night sweats or brain fog. Utrogestan 100mg capsules work alongside oestrogen to help reduce these symptoms and restore your natural hormonal balance.

When you take oestrogen as part of HRT it can cause the lining of your womb to thicken, raising the risk of uterine cancer. The progesterone in Utrogestan 100mg capsules works against oestrogen to protect your womb, causing your body to shed the lining each month - a bit like when you have periods - and keep your womb healthy.

How To Take Utrogestan 100mg Capsules

There are two common ways to take Utrogestan 100mg depending on your cycle.

If you’re still getting periods and have had one in the last six to 12 months you should take two capsules daily from day 15 to 26 of a 28-day cycle.

If you haven’t had a period in over a year, then you should take one capsule daily without a break.

It’s best to take your medication just before you go to bed on an empty stomach. Don’t take it with food or shortly after you’ve eaten - this helps your body absorb it properly and minimises side effects.

For full details on how to take Utrogestan 100mg capsules please see the Patient Information Leaflet.

Utrogestan 100mg ingredients

Each tablet contains 100mg of the active ingredient, progesterone.

The tablets also contain the following inactive ingredients: sunflower oil, soya lecithin, gelatine, glycerol, titanium dioxide and purified water.

It’s always best to read the patient information leaflet before you start taking the tablets to make sure you’re familiar with all the ingredients and they suit your dietary needs.

Side Effects

Like any medication, you might experience mild side effects while taking it. Not everyone will but some of the most common ones women on Utrogestan experience include drowsiness, dizziness, stomach pain, nausea, and irregular bleeding.

These can settle and improve as your body adjusts. Taking them before bedtime can also help minimise any side effects.

If any of the side effects are persistent or get worse, or if you experience anything that doesn’t seem right, you should speak to your healthcare provider for further advice and support.

For more information around potential side effects please read the Patient Information Leaflet.

Warnings

While Utrogestan is an effective HRT treatment, it’s important you’re aware of the risks. HRT can slightly increase the chance of breast cancer and blood clots. If you experience unexplained chest pain, leg swelling or breathlessness you should stop taking it immediately and seek medical help.

You should not take Utrogestan if you’ve ever had breast cancer, a cancer sensitive to oestrogens, unexplained vaginal bleeding, excessive thickening of the womb lining, a blood clotting disorder, stroke, heart attack, angina, liver disease, porphyria, bleeding on the brain or are breastfeeding.

Utrogestan is not a contraceptive and annual check ups with your doctor are essential. If you’re unsure whether you should be taking it or experience side effects, speak to your doctor to make sure it’s the right choice for you.

Please read the full information regarding warnings and precautions detailed in the Patient Information Leaflet before taking Utrogestan.
