Pharmacological properties
The progesterone in Luteina vaginal tablets 200 mg, a vaginal tablet, is synthetically derived, identical to the natural corpus luteum hormone of the ovary.
The most important effects of progesterone on the reproductive organs are: the possibility of ovulation by increasing proteolysis of the wall of the graph bubble; secretory change of the endometrium, which makes it possible to implant a fertilized egg; inhibition of excessive endometrial hypertrophy under the influence of estrogen; cyclic changes in the epithelium of the fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina. Progesterone acts synergistically with estrogen on the breast, stimulating the growth of glandular vesicles and duct epithelium, as well as participating in the expression of receptors necessary for lactation. Progesterone is a hormone necessary for the maintenance of pregnancy throughout its term: it inhibits the immune response of the uterus to fetal antigens, is a substrate for the formation of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids of the fetus. Progesterone inhibits the spontaneous contractile activity of the pregnant uterus, and is also necessary to trigger the mechanisms that initiate childbirth.
Indication
Luteina vaginal tablets 100 mg. Decreased ability to fertilize in primary or secondary infertility in partial or complete luteal insufficiency (disovulation, maintenance of the luteal phase during preparation for in vitro fertilization, egg donation program). Prevention of habitual miscarriage or threat of miscarriage in lutein deficiency. Prevention of premature birth in women with a short cervix or in women with a history of premature birth.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Luteina vaginal tablets 200 mg can be used in the first trimester of pregnancy. There are insufficient clinical data on the use of progesterone in the II and III trimesters of pregnancy.
There are data on the possible risk of developing hypospadias when using progestogens during pregnancy to prevent habitual miscarriage or the risk of miscarriage due to lutein deficiency, about which the patient should be informed.
Progesterone passes into breast milk, so the use of the drug during breastfeeding is contraindicated.

- With complete insufficiency of the luteal phase [complete absence of progesterone in women with dysfunctional (absent) ovaries (egg donation)]: the dose of progesterone is 100 mg on the 13th and 14th day of the transfer cycle. From the 15th to the 25th day of the cycle, the dose of progesterone is 200 mg, divided into two doses (morning and evening). From the 26th day, in the case of early diagnosis of pregnancy, the dose is increased, gradually (every week) by 100 mg of progesterone per day, reaching a maximum of 600 mg of progesterone per day, divided into three doses. This dosage should be followed until the 60th day.
