What is Gynaecosid Tablets?
Gynaecosid is a prescription hormonal tablet containing Methyloestrenolone 5mg and Methyloestradiol 0.3mg, manufactured by Efroze Chemical Industries (Pvt.) Ltd. It is used in gynaecology to treat secondary amenorrhea (ماہواری کا بند ہو جانا), regulate irregular menstrual cycles, and manage symptoms of estrogen deficiency including menopause. The combination of a synthetic progestogen and a synthetic estrogen in a single tablet provides hormonal support to restore normal menstrual function and relieve conditions caused by low hormone levels.
What is Gynaecosid Used For?
Secondary Amenorrhea: Induces menstruation in women who have missed periods due to hormonal imbalance rather than pregnancy. Menstrual Irregularities: Corrects irregular or unpredictable menstrual cycles caused by hormonal disturbances. Estrogen Deficiency and Menopause: Manages symptoms of natural or surgical menopause including hot flashes and vaginal atrophy. Urogenital Complaints: Relieves painful urination and urinary urgency associated with estrogen deficiency affecting the urogenital tissues.
How Does Gynaecosid Work?
Methyloestrenolone is a synthetic progestogen that mimics the action of natural progesterone, preparing the uterine lining for menstruation. Methyloestradiol is a synthetic estrogen that supplements low estrogen levels, supporting normal hormone balance and relieving estrogen deficiency symptoms. Together, they restore the hormonal environment needed for regular menstrual cycles and healthy urogenital tissue function.
