Caprogen DS Injection

Caprogen DS Injection is a synthetic progesterone female hormone (progestin) used to prevent premature labor. It is indicated for pregnant women at risk of preterm labor, typically caused by factors such as premature rupture of membranes, high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia), and poor diet.

The active ingredient in Caprogen DS Injection is hydroxyprogesterone, which is a progestin that helps modulate the immune response in pregnant women, preventing the rejection of the embryo and facilitating its attachment to the uterus. By doing so, it helps prevent miscarriage and reduce the risk of premature birth, particularly in women who have had a previous preterm delivery.

Caprogen DS Injection should only be administered by a healthcare professional and should not be self-administered. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, itching, hives (skin rashes), swelling in the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and diarrhea. However, not everyone experiences these side effects, and most of them resolve on their own over time. If you experience any discomfort while taking Caprogen DS Injection, it is advisable to consult your doctor.

Before starting treatment with Caprogen DS Injection, inform your doctor about any allergies to medications, any unusual vaginal bleeding related to your pregnancy, and your medical history, especially if you have liver disease, severe hypertension, a history of breast cancer, uterus or vagina disorders, pre-eclampsia, thromboembolic disorders, diabetes, depression, or epilepsy. Caprogen DS Injection may cause dizziness, so caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery. Alcohol consumption should be avoided to prevent potential unpleasant side effects. It is important to inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking and your overall health condition to ensure the appropriate and safe use of Caprogen DS Injection.
