Hi Ladies, I was reading the pamphlet that came with my 100mg Utrogestan and I noted the following, don't remember seeing this on the previous pamphlet, wonder if the guidelines have changed....mmm??
Dosage & Directions for use:
In general the dosage of Utrogestan is 200mg daily at bedtime, for the last 14 days of oestrogen treatment per cycle, particularly, if the patient does not wish to have regular cyclic bleeding (ie from day 8 to day 21 for a 28 day cycle and from day 12 to day 25 for a 30 day cycle)....
That confuses me... cos surely that would cause a bleed??
It then goes onto say...
Patients who prefer to have withdrawal bleeding should be administered 300mg of Utrogestan daily for 10 to 12 days of oestrogen treatment.
Since when is 300mg the prescribed dosage, any ideas??
Just to add something extra, for those ladies, that tend to get early bleeding whilst on Utrogestan, Sarah 2, I know that you mentioned that this happens... this is what the pamphlet has to say..
If breakthrough bleeding occurs during the 2nd week of progesterone Utrogestan therapy, the situation is likely to reflect early endometrial atrophy and requires re-evaluation of the oestrogen dose. Spotting usually disappears, if the oestrogen dose is increased.
If breakthrough bleeding persists after adjusting oestrogen levels, endo-uterine examination should be perormed.
If breakthrough bleeding occurs during the 1st week of progesterone Utrogestan therapy this may be due to either endometrial atrophy or an oganic lesion and uterine examination is recommended.
