Product introduction
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel is prescribed to prevent miscarriage in women who experience vaginal bleeding in the first trimester and have a history of recurrent miscarriages. It supports early pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining and creating a stable environment for the developing embryo.
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel should be inserted deep into the vagina exactly as prescribed. Use the medicine regularly and at the same time each day to maintain consistent support during early pregnancy. Treatment should always be guided by a doctor, and any ongoing bleeding or new symptoms should be reported promptly, as further evaluation may be required.
Most women tolerate EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel well. Rarely, local side effects such as mild vaginal irritation, itching, burning sensation, or oily discharge may occur. These effects are usually mild and short-lived. If symptoms become bothersome or persistent, consult your doctor.
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel should be used only during the first trimester for the prevention of miscarriage. Any vaginal bleeding should always be investigated before and during treatment. The medicine should not be used in women with undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, severe liver disease, hormone-dependent cancers, thromboembolic disorders, or known allergy to progesterone or any ingredient in the product.

Benefits of EMPRogest Vaginal gel
In Prevention of Miscarriage
EMPRogest 8% Vaginal gel helps in the prevention of miscarriage, especially in women who experience bleeding in early pregnancy and have a history of recurrent pregnancy loss. It supports the pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining, helping the womb stay relaxed, and creating a favourable environment for the developing embryo. Vaginal administration delivers progesterone directly to the uterus, ensuring effective local action with lower exposure to the rest of the body. This helps improve the chances of continuing the pregnancy and provides reassurance and stability during a critical early phase of pregnancy.
