Progesteron – ( 40 mg+0.02 mg ) / 2 ml Solution for injection
Progesterone is secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovaries during the second phase of the menstrual cycle (luteal phase), and also from placenta during pregnancy. LH stimulates the secretion of this hormone through cAMP. At the end of the cycle, the abrupt reduction of the secretion of progesterone causes menstruations.
Progesterone is necessary for the maintenance of pregnancy.
Under the action of progesterone, the temperature of the body increases with about 0.5°C.
Progesterone acts in the development of the mammary glands during pregnancy and for a minor development during the luteal phase.
