PROGYNOVA® is used as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat symptoms of estrogen deficiency, such as hot flushes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, which may occur during menopause or after surgical removal of the ovaries.

In fertility treatments, PROGYNOVA® is often prescribed to support the uterine lining during Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Estradiol helps create a receptive environment for embryo implantation and early pregnancy development.

The typical dosage is one tablet taken orally once daily, as directed by your doctor. The dose and duration depend on your individual treatment plan.

Your fertility specialist will provide specific instructions tailored to your needs.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time of your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

Contact your doctor if you are unsure.

In case of an overdose, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, or breast tenderness.

Contact the Poisons Information Centre (Australia: 13 11 26) or your doctor for advice.
