Medicine Description exluton 0.5mg
Exluton 0.5mg Tablets is a medication that contains Lynestrenol, a synthetic progestogen. It mimics the natural progesterone hormone and plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle by inducing changes in the endometrium. The primary mechanism of Lynestrenol involves transforming the proliferative endometrium into a secretory phase, which helps prepare the uterus for potential implantation of an embryo. Furthermore, Lynestrenol inhibits gonadotropin secretion, leading to suppressed follicular maturation and ovulation. This results in a reduced likelihood of conception. Additionally, it stabilizes the endometrial lining, which can effectively reduce menstrual bleeding by preventing excessive proliferation of the endometrial tissue and minimizing the menstrual flow.
