Mode Of Action

Dydron 10 mg is an orally-active progestogen which produces a complete secretory endometrium in an oestrogen-primed uterus thereby providing protection against the increased risk for endometrium hyperplasia and carcinogenesis induced by oestrogens. It is indicated in all cases of endogenous progesterone deficiency. Dydron 10 mg has no oestrogenic, no androgenic, no thermogenic, no anabolic and no corticoid activity.

Pregnancy

It is estimated that more than 10 million pregnancies have been exposed to Dydron 10 mg. So far there were no indications of a harmful effect of Dydron 10 mg use during pregnancy. No data exist on excretion of Dydron 10 mg in mother's milk. Experience with other progestogens indicates that progestogens and the metabolites pass to mother's milk in small quantities. Whether there is a risk to the child is not known. Therefore Dydron 10 mg should not be used during the lactation period.
