Medicine Description cidolut-depot 125mg
Cidolut depot is a medication that functions primarily as a progestin, mimicking the action of natural progesterone in the body. It exerts its effects by binding to progesterone receptors, leading to a series of cellular responses that promote the maintenance of the uterine lining, making it more conducive to embryo implantation and sustaining pregnancy. This progestogenic action also helps to inhibit uterine contractions, thereby reducing the risk of premature labor. Additionally, hydroxyprogesterone caproate modulates immune responses and supports the placental environment, which may contribute to fetal development.
