Frequently asked questions

What is Kliogest used for?+
Kliogest is a combined hormonal oral tablet that is prescribed to prevent pregnancy and to help regulate menstrual cycles in women of reproductive age. It works by inhibiting ovulation and modifying cervical mucus and the endometrial lining.
How does norethisterone acetate and estradiol work in Kliogest?+
Norethisterone acetate is a synthetic progestogen that suppresses the mid‑cycle surge of luteinizing hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone, preventing ovulation. Estradiol, a natural estrogen, stabilises the endometrium and supports the progestogenic effect while both agents make cervical mucus less permeable to sperm.
What is the usual dose of Kliogest?+
The specific dosing regimen for Kliogest is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on individual patient needs and local regulatory guidelines. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
Is Kliogest safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Kliogest is classified as Pregnancy Category X, meaning it must not be used during pregnancy because it can cause harm to the fetus. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as hormonal exposure may affect milk production and infant health.
