Estradiol 2 mg (Progynova) Tablets
Description
Progynova 2 mg Tablet contains Estradiol, a synthetic form of the female sex hormone estrogen. It is commonly prescribed as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to relieve symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flushes, vaginal dryness, itching, and estrogen deficiency. It is also used to help prevent osteoporosis (bone thinning) in postmenopausal women who are at risk of bone loss.
In certain medical conditions, Progynova 2 mg Tablet may also be prescribed as part of the treatment for breast cancer and prostate cancer in combination with other anticancer medicines.
The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and may be taken with or without food. For best results, take it at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as this may reduce its effectiveness.
Before starting treatment, inform your healthcare provider about any other medicines you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Women with a history of unexplained vaginal bleeding, blood clots, liver disease, or other significant medical conditions should discuss these with their doctor before beginning therapy. Regular medical check-ups and laboratory tests may be recommended to monitor your response to treatment.

How Progynova Tablet Works
Progynova 2 mg Tablet contains Estradiol, a form of estrogen that replaces the hormone naturally produced by the body. During and after menopause, estrogen levels decline, leading to symptoms such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. Progynova restores estrogen levels, helping relieve these symptoms while supporting bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis associated with estrogen deficiency.
