Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel

Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel is a progesterone medicine used inside the vagina to support the body’s hormone balance in fertility-related care. Each tube of Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel contains progesterone 8% as a vaginal gel, a progestogen medicine that helps prepare and support the uterine lining. It is commonly used in infertility therapy and other doctor-directed situations where progesterone support is needed. Because it is a local vaginal gel, it is designed to deliver progesterone directly where it is needed.

How it works: Progesterone helps thicken and stabilize the lining of the uterus so it can better support implantation and early pregnancy in fertility treatment. As a vaginal gel, Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel delivers progesterone locally through the vaginal tissue, which helps the medicine act where support is needed.

Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel is a higher-strength progesterone gel, so it is typically chosen when a doctor wants stronger local progesterone support rather than a lower-strength vaginal option. The gel format may feel less messy for some people than other vaginal forms, but it can still cause vaginal discharge or leakage after use. This strength should be used only when a clinician has decided that 8% progesterone is appropriate for the treatment plan.

• Luteal phase support in infertility treatment
• Support after assisted reproductive procedures
• Progesterone replacement when prescribed
• Doctor-directed support of the uterine lining

• Use Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel exactly as your doctor prescribes; insert the full tube contents into the vagina using the applicator or the device provided.
• Wash your hands before and after handling the gel and applicator.
• Use it at the same time each day if your prescriber has given a once-daily schedule.
• Lie down briefly after insertion if instructed, to help keep the gel in place.
• Expect some vaginal leakage or discharge; using a panty liner can help.
• Do not swallow the gel or use it by mouth.

Each tube of Naturogest 8% Vaginal gel provides progesterone 8% in a vaginal gel form, so it is a relatively strong progesterone preparation. The exact frequency may vary by fertility protocol, but it is commonly prescribed once or twice daily; the doctor decides the schedule based on your treatment needs. Do not increase the number of tubes per day on your own, because the maximum daily amount depends on the prescribed fertility regimen and your response to therapy.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
