Cyclogest contains Progesterone, a naturally occurring female sex hormone essential for the reproductive system. It works by inducing "secretory changes" in the lining of the uterus (endometrium), preparing it for the implantation of a fertilized egg and providing the hormonal stability required to maintain a pregnancy. By supporting the "luteal phase," it ensures the uterine environment remains thick and nutrient-rich, preventing the premature shedding of the lining that leads to miscarriage.
In Nigeria, Cyclogest 400mg (by L.D. Collins/Actavis) is a premier clinical choice for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and pregnancy support. It is available through fertility clinics and registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive authentic, laboratory-verified pessaries stored in climate-controlled environments (below 25°C) to prevent the waxy base from melting or the hormone from degrading in the tropical heat.
Important: This is a high-potency hormonal medication. The "Dual Route" Rule: Cyclogest pessaries are unique because they can be inserted either vaginally or rectally; your doctor will specify the route based on your specific needs (e.g., rectal is preferred if you have a vaginal infection or recently gave birth). The "Leakage" Note: It is normal to experience some "waxy discharge" after insertion as the pessary melts; using a panty liner is highly recommended. The "Liver" Warning: If you have severe liver disease or a history of "Dubin-Johnson syndrome," you must inform our pharmacist before use.
Cyclogest 400mg Pessaries are primarily used for:
Luteal Phase Support: Assisting embryo implantation during IVF or ICSI cycles
Prevention of Miscarriage: Supporting women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss
Prophylaxis of Preterm Birth: Helping to maintain a pregnancy in women with a short cervix
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Relieving severe symptoms like tension and depression
Postnatal Depression: Treating hormonal imbalances after childbirth
Providing a High-Dose Progesterone delivery directly to the reproductive tissues
Offering a "Natural" (Bio-identical) progesterone source that is better tolerated by some than synthetic progestins
This medication is intended for:
Women undergoing fertility treatments requiring hormonal supplementation
Pregnant women at high risk of miscarriage or early labor
Women suffering from severe, clinically diagnosed PMS or postnatal depression
Not recommended for: Use in patients with undiagnosed vaginal bleeding or a history of "Thromboembolic" disorders (blood clots). It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with known or suspected "Progesterone-dependent" tumors (like breast or genital cancers). Use with caution if you have asthma, epilepsy, or migraine, as progesterone can cause fluid retention. Consult our pharmacist if you are using other vaginal medications (like anti-fungal creams), as they can interfere with absorption. Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding; while natural, high doses can interfere with milk production and should be professionally monitored.
Insert the pessary once or twice daily as directed by your fertility specialist or obstetrician.
The "Hygiene" Rule: Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after insertion.
The "Insertion" Tip: For vaginal use, place the pessary between the labia and push it high into the vagina. For rectal use, insert it gently into the rectum (back passage).
The "Lying Down" Rule: After insertion, you should lie down for at least 30 minutes to allow the pessary to melt and the hormone to be absorbed properly.
Consistency is Vital: Take your doses at the same time every day to maintain a steady "pro-gestational" environment; do not stop taking it suddenly, especially in early pregnancy, as this can trigger a miscarriage.
If a dose is missed, insert it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for your next dose—never "double up" to 800mg.
Cyclogest is effective but affects the hormonal and digestive systems, potentially causing:
Waxy Discharge: Leaking of the pessary base (very common)
Bloating, abdominal pain, or breast tenderness
Changes in Bowel Habits: Constipation or diarrhea (especially with rectal use)
Tiredness, sleepiness, or mild "moodiness"
A change in the timing or flow of your menstrual period (if not pregnant)
Rare but serious: Blood Clots (symptoms include sudden leg pain or shortness of breath)
Rare: Local irritation or itching at the site of insertion
Seek medical advice if you experience sudden severe headache, yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice), or heavy unexpected vaginal bleeding.

Can I have "Intercourse" while using the pessaries?
If using them vaginally, it is best to avoid intercourse immediately after insertion. Many doctors recommend waiting at least 2–3 hours or switching to the rectal route during that period.
Why did my doctor tell me to put it in my "Back Passage"?
The rectal route is often prescribed if you have a vaginal infection, a very sensitive cervix, or if you find the vaginal discharge too uncomfortable. The hormone is absorbed just as effectively through the rectum.
How long do I need to keep taking it during pregnancy?
For IVF or miscarriage prevention, it is commonly continued until 10–12 weeks of pregnancy, when the placenta is fully developed and takes over progesterone production.
Where can I purchase Cyclogest 400mg in Nigeria?
