Projenon depot Estradiol valerate injection pack

What is Progynon Depot? Progynon Depot (Estradiol Valerate) is a long-acting estrogen injection used for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and to treat conditions caused by estrogen deficiency. In Nigeria, it is also frequently found or listed as Projenon Depot. Each 1ml ampoule contains 10mg of Estradiol Valerate in an oil-based solution, designed for gradual release into the body. Uses of Progynon Depot Injection This medication is primarily prescribed to manage moderate to severe symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It is also used to treat hypoestrogenism (low estrogen levels) resulting from ovarian failure or other hormonal imbalances. In some cases, healthcare providers may prescribe it as part of palliative care for advanced prostate cancer or for gender-affirming hormone therapy. How it Works As a depot injection, Progynon Depot is administered deep into the muscle (intramuscularly). Once injected, the estradiol valerate is slowly released into the bloodstream over several weeks, providing a steady supply of estrogen. This convenience makes it a preferred option for those who find daily tablets difficult to manage. Important Information
