Adverse Events Associated With Use Of Generic Progynova Injection

Women infrequently experience severe side effects by taking progynova injection. Discuss these possible effects with your doctor:

The extended use of estrogens has caused endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) in women who have experienced menopause. This risk is high as with the high dose and long use. If this medicine is used in low quantity for less than 1 year, the risk is less. The risk can be reduced if a progestin (another female hormone) is taken while using this drug. If the uterus is removed by surgery (total hysterectomy), this drug no more causes endometrial cancer.

Progynova injection may rarely cause cancer of the breast. If the patient has blood clots, he is more likely to develop stroke, heart attack, or death. These side effects occur infrequently. They take place in men treated for cancer using high doses of estrogens. Seek immediate medical help if any of the following side effects occur:
