Why choose weight loss medication?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are changing the way weight loss is approached. Originally developed to support people with type 2 diabetes, these medications are now widely recognised for their effectiveness in weight management.

GLP-1 weight loss treatments work by mimicking natural hormones that help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and increase feelings of fullness. This makes it easier to reduce calorie intake and supports sustainable, long-term weight loss.

Clinically proven weight loss treatments

Proven results, backed by science

Medications targeting GLP-1 receptors offer clinically proven results for people living with obesity or weight-related health conditions. These treatments are not quick fixes. They form part of a longer-term medical approach designed to support a healthier lifestyle.

By reducing hunger signals and increasing feelings of fullness, GLP-1 therapies can help patients lose a meaningful percentage of their body weight when combined with appropriate lifestyle changes.

Product details

Medication type

Natural progestogen (micronised progesterone), used as part of combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Active ingredient

Progesterone (micronised)

Generic

No

Side effects

Drowsiness, fatigue, bloating, nausea, or breast tenderness.
Less commonly: headaches, mood changes, light vaginal bleeding, or dizziness.
These effects are usually mild and temporary, especially at the start of treatment.

Works within

Utrogestan contains natural micronised progesterone, a hormone identical to that produced by the female body. It works by protecting the lining of the uterus (endometrium) from the stimulatory effects of oestrogens during hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with Oestrogel. This helps prevent endometrial hyperplasia and reduces the risk of endometrial cancer, while restoring a more natural hormonal balance.

Effective in

Utrogestan works immediately to protect the lining of the womb during your HRT cycle. However, for the relief of general menopausal symptoms (as part of your combined HRT regime), it may take 3 months to feel the full benefits of hormonal balance.

FAQs

Veuillez consulter notre page FAQ pour en savoir plus.

What should I do if I forget to take a capsule?

If you forget to take your capsule at bedtime, do not take it the next morning, as this may cause drowsiness during the day. Simply skip the missed dose and take your next capsule at the usual time the following night. Never take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one.

Will I get a period while taking this?

It depends on how you take it. If you take it cyclically (e.g., usually days 15–26 of your cycle), you will likely have a "withdrawal bleed" similar to a period after you finish the capsules each month. If you take it continuously (every day), you normally do not bleed, though some spotting can occur in the first few months.

Can I take this if I have a peanut or soy allergy?

Strictly No. Utrogestan capsules contain soya lecithin. If you are allergic to soya or peanuts, you must not take this medicine. Please inform our doctors so an alternative progesterone treatment can be prescribed.

Why do I need to take this if I am using Oestrogel?

If you still have your womb (uterus), taking oestrogen alone causes the lining of the womb to build up, which increases the risk of uterine cancer. Utrogestan acts as the "counterbalance" to keep the lining thin and healthy. If you have had a hysterectomy, you typically do not need Utrogestan.

Does this protect against pregnancy?

No. Although progesterone is used in contraceptive pills, Utrogestan prescribed for HRT is not a contraceptive. If you are under 50 or still fertile, you must use non-hormonal contraception (like condoms) to prevent pregnancy.
