ASTANOL TABLET Substitute

ASTANOL TABLET contains “Allylestrenol” is a progestin (female hormones) which is used in pregnant women who have recurrent and threatened miscarriage (abortion) and pregnant women who have delivered a baby too early (preterm) in the past. It works by modulating the immune response of the pregnant women to prevent rejection of the embryo and allow its attachment to the uterus and improving blood flow to the placenta.  It also relaxes uterus muscles, thereby preventing premature labor. ASTANOL TABLET prevents repeated miscarriage and helps lower the risk of premature birth in pregnant women who have had a past premature delivery. Also, ASTANOL TABLET is used to treat intrauterine growth retardation (unborn baby is not growing at a normal rate), amenorrhoea (absence of menstrual periods due to lack of progesterone), irregular menses cycle, and premenstrual syndrome (symptoms include mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression that women can experience in the weeks before their menses period). On the other hand, ASTANOL TABLET is effective in the treatment of hot flashes in postmenopausal women and benign prostatic hyperplasia (noncancerous increase in the size of the prostate gland) in men.
