Emma B , 31 May
Reliable delivery but lack of communication. Even though an email came through to send that the order had been received and how to store the medication no confirmation comes through to say that the order has been approved. Apart from that im very happy with the service.

More information about Utrogestan
About Utrogestan
What is Utrogestan?
Utrogestan capsules are a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) manufactured by Cyndea. They are designed to help prevent womb cancer for those on oestrogen HRT. It can be used if you are still having periods (sequential HRT) or if your periods have stopped (continuous HRT). It contains progesterone, and it must be taken with oestrogen.
How does Utrogestan work?
During menopause, your body produces fewer reproductive hormones like progesterone and oestrogen, which is what causes menopause symptoms. Utrogestan contains progesterone, which supplements your natural progesterone levels and improves these symptoms.
What are the benefits of Utrogestan?
There are several benefits of using Utrogestan. As well as significantly reducing the severity of menopause symptoms, it also helps to lower the risk of womb cancer. This is because taking progesterone with oestrogen causes the womb lining to shed each month. Taking oestrogen on its own causes this lining to build up, which can increase the risk of womb cancer.
Using Utrogestan
What dose do I take?
Utrogestan is available as 100 mg capsules. The dose you take depends on your HRT regime. You should be on either a sequential regime (if you still get your periods) or a continuous regime (if your periods have stopped).
- Sequential HRT - Take 2 capsules daily (200 mg) between days 15-28 of your cycle.
- High-oestrogen sequential HRT - Take 3 capsules daily (300 mg) between days 15-28 of your cycle.
- Continuous HRT - Take 1 capsule (100 mg) once daily.
- High-oestrogen continuous HRT - Take 2 capsules (200 mg) once daily.
You will likely have a bleed after taking your cycle of progesterone.
You must take Utrogestan with oestrogen daily to help relieve menopause symptoms. Always follow the advice from your doctor or specialist.
How do I take Utrogestan?
Instructions for taking Utrogestan:
- Take each dose at nighttime - this is to limit daytime sleepiness.
- Swallow each capsule whole with a glass of water.
- Do not take with food - this can increase absorption and cause side effects.
- Take your oestrogen at the same time.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you forget to take it, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

- have ever had breast cancer
- have a cancer which is sensitive to oestrogen, such as endometrial cancer (cancer of the womb)
- have any unexplained vaginal bleeding
- have a blood-clotting disorder
- have had a heart attack, stroke or angina (conditions caused by blood clotting)
- have a liver disease

How safe is Utrogestan?
Utrogestan is safe, provided you get a prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. It was approved for use in the UK in January 2003, and since then has been a trusted product for thousands who rely on it for effective HRT treatment.
However, as with all HRT medicines, it can pose some risk. You should take special care if you have a condition that makes you more likely to get a blood clot. Speak with your doctor if you’re unsure about the safety of treatment with Utrogestan.
