Indications
Allygest 5 is used to prevent complications during pregnancy, such as slow baby growth in the womb, risk of miscarriage, repeated pregnancy loss, and early labor.
Pharmacology
Allygest 5 helps support pregnancy by improving the placenta’s function. Studies show Allygest 5 increases progesterone production, which is important for maintaining pregnancy. Allygest 5 also boosts certain enzymes and hormones in the placenta, leading to a healthier pregnancy. Research indicates that high doses can reduce contractions without affecting normal delivery. Allygest 5 does not have estrogen or androgen effects and does not negatively impact liver function or water balance in the body.
Dosage & Administration
For slow baby growth: 1 tablet three times daily for at least two months. Reduce dose if symptoms improve.
For risk of miscarriage: 1 tablet three times daily until symptoms stop.
For repeated pregnancy loss: 1-2 tablets daily starting from early pregnancy, continuing for at least one month after the critical period.
For early labor: Dose varies per patient. High doses (up to 40 mg daily) have been used.
If a dose is missed, take Allygest 5 as soon as remembered. Do not double the dose.
Interaction
Not available.
Contraindications
Allygest 5 should not be used in patients with breast cancer or past breast issues like lumps or abnormal scans, severe liver problems, unexplained vaginal bleeding, pregnancy-related high blood pressure, or certain nervous system disorders like seizures or migraines.
