Emprogest Vaginal Gel is a hormone-based medicine used in women who are trying to become pregnant, especially those facing infertility. It is commonly prescribed when there is a problem with the luteal phase, which means the body does not produce enough progesterone to support pregnancy. It is also used in women undergoing IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) or other assisted reproductive treatments, including cases of blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility. This medicine helps create a suitable environment in the uterus for implantation and supports early pregnancy. Emprogest Vaginal Gel works by providing progesterone, a natural female hormone that plays an important role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining it after conception. Adequate progesterone levels help thicken and support the uterine lining, making it easier for the fertilised egg to attach and grow. This improves the chances of successful pregnancy and helps maintain it in the early stages. Use Emprogest Vaginal Gel exactly as advised by your doctor. It is usually applied inside the vagina using the applicator provided. Do not use more or less than prescribed, and do not stop using it on your own. Your doctor may advise you to continue using this medicine even after pregnancy is confirmed to help support the pregnancy. Following the correct schedule is important for the best results. Some women may experience mild side effects such as vaginal discharge, spotting, irritation, or itching. These are usually temporary and improve with time. However, if these symptoms persist, worsen, or if you notice severe discomfort or signs of an allergic reaction, contact your doctor immediately. Regular follow-up and proper use of Emprogest Vaginal Gel can help improve the chances of a healthy and successful pregnancy.
