How it works
Progivian 8% Vaginal gel contains a progesterone (a female sex hormone). It helps to establish and maintain pregnancy. It also prevents the increase in thickness of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) caused by estrogen.
Quick Tips
Progivian 8% Vaginal gel helps increase your chances of getting pregnant. If you become pregnant, it 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 invasion compared to pills or injections thereby preventing various gastric side effects. Do not use tampons or other vaginal products for at least 6 hours before and after using Progivian 8% Vaginal gel.
