The high concentration contained in Cidolut depot takes into account
the latest scientific discoveries about corpus luteum therapy. These have
shown that it is often only possible to obtain a successful result using large
doses . Over-dosage of progesterone and its derivatives is practically
speaking not possible .The administration of Cidolut depot is always
indicated if it is desired to obtain a corpus luteum effect extending over at
least one week or longer. This is especially the case in the second half of
the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy . I-Abortion :
In cases of the tendency to habitual abortion , it is often advisable to administer larger doses of progesterone over a longer time than has either to been usual in order to preserve the pregnancy.
In the tendency of habitual abortion . 125 to 250 mg of Cidolut depot should be injected at weekly intervals for at least the first half of pregnancy II- Amenorrhea : primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea of relatively long duration:
It is recommended that a cyclical treatment as described by Kaufmann be
carried out over several months . Frequently a spontaneous cycle occurs
subsequently . If this does not take place the treatment must be repeated
over a few months. Using estradiol valerate and Cidolut depot it is found
possible to carry out a cyclically correct treatment in a simple manner. At the beginning of treatment 10mg estradiol valerate are injected intramuscularly. Next either 10mg estradiol valerate are injected on the 14th day as well as 125 mg. Cidolut depot intramuscularly on the 14th and 22nd days or alternatively 10mg estradiol valerate together with 250mg
Cidolut depot intramuscularly on the 18thday of treatment. Following the bleeding which resembles a menstruation and occurs approximately on the 28th day 10mg estradiol valerate intramuscularly are administered and on the 18th day of the artificial cycle 10mg estradiol valerate and 125mg Cidolut depot intramuscularly are given. III- Functional bleeding :
( Cyclical glandular hyperplasia )
Especially puberty bleeding and pre-climacteric bleeding .
Progesterone has a haemostatic action on the endometrium . the duration of the bleeding and the condition of endometrium are of great significance in the mechanism of this action . Estrogen should be injected simultaneously with : 125mg Cidolut depot - 10 mg Estradiol valerate . A few days later a menstruation like bleeding of limited duration may occur ( medical curettage) . When the bleeding is of long duration the desquamated endometrium should first of all be built up to the stage of proliferation by means of estrogen and then transformed by means of Cidolut depot . IV- Polymenorrhoea:
In shortening of the phase of secretion, the time of ovulation may be easily determined by regular measurement of the morning temperature.
65 to 125mg of Cidolut depot should be injected intramuscularly between 20th and 22nd days. Packing :
