Description

1 What Cyclogest is and what it is used for
Cyclogest contains progesterone which is a natural, female sex hormone,
produced in the body.
Cyclogest works by adjusting the hormonal balance within the body for the
treatment of:
• pre-menstrual syndrome which often affects women during the 7 to 10 days
before their monthly period. The symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome include
feelings of tension, irritability, depression, headache, breast tenderness,
weight gain and bloatedness
• post-natal depression which some women get after their baby has been born.
• women who need extra progesterone while undergoing treatment in an
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) programme.
