About Utovlan Tablets
Key points
- Prevents the breakdown of the womb lining, stopping periods
- Stops periods for up to 17 days
- Periods usually resume a few days after discontinuing medication
What is Utovlan used for?
Utovlan is a synthetic form of progesterone, a hormone involved in regulating the menstrual cycle. Utovlan 5mg is used as a period delay medication. Additionally, Utovlan is prescribed for conditions such as endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, or dysmenorrhea (painful periods).
How does Utovlan work?
Progesterone levels naturally fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. Towards the cycle’s end, declining progesterone levels prompt the breakdown of the womb lining, leading to menstruation. Utovlan works by maintaining elevated progesterone levels, preventing the breakdown of the womb lining and subsequent bleeding.
Important note: If you miss a tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, do not double up on tablets to compensate for the missed one.
Can you take Utovlan on the first day of your period?
No, you must begin taking Utovlan tablets three days prior to the onset of your period for them to be effective. Taking it on the first day is too late for it to stop your period.
