Endometrin Vaginal Insert (Progesterone)
Endometrin® is a prescription drug that contains progesterone, a hormone required to sustain pregnancy. Progesterone is a natural hormone that is essential for regulating menstruation and maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. Endometrin® is created precisely to complement the body’s natural progesterone levels via simple vaginal inserts.
Why Choose Endometrin (Progesterone)?
- Supports Pregnancy: When taken in combination with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), it has been clinically proven to improve embryo implantation and early pregnancy.
- Easy to use: Includes a prefilled applicator for quick and pleasant insertion.
- Regulates Menstrual Cycle: Helps in controlling the menstrual cycle and preparing the body for pregnancy.
How to Use Endometrin (Progesterone)?
- Wash your hands properly with soap and water to avoid bringing bacteria into the vagina.
- Remove an insert from its packing. Be delicate and careful not to crush the insert.
- Load the insert into the applicator included with your medication. If the applicator is not pre-filled, you will need to insert the insert according to the instructions that came with your prescription.
- Find a comfortable position where you can easily access your vagina. This could be standing with one leg up, squatting slightly, or reclining on your back with your legs bent.
- Hold the applicator at the opposite end from where the insert is loaded.
- Gently insert the applicator into your vagina as far as it can go without creating discomfort.
- To release the insert into your vagina, depress the plunger of the applicator.
- Remove the applicator from the vagina. If it’s only for one use, throw it away; if it’s supposed to be reused, wash it.
- Wash your hands again to keep them clean.
