What Is The Difference Between Progyluton And Cyclo-progynova Tablets?

My 16 year old daughter s period has stopped ,she is an athlete , all tests and ultra sound are ok , the doctor prescribed progyluton but the pharmacist gave me cycle- progynova because she didn t have the first one at the time , are they the same ? I m in another country now and I m hesitant to give her this one because I read it s for menopause , so I would like to know if as the pharmacist said they are the same medicine ? Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Progyluton is composed of a calendar-pack containing 11 tablets of 2 mg estradiol valerate each, plus 10 tablets of 2 mg estradiol valerate and 0.5 mg norgestrel each.
Cyclo-Progynova contains a calendar-pack with 11 White Tablets of 2mg estradiol valerate and 10 Pale Brown Tablets of 500 micrograms norgestrel + 2mg estradiol valerate.
You can use either of the two as the composition remains the same, except for the change in brands.
Recommended mode of its intake is: One tablet to be taken orally once a day for 21 days (11 + 10), followed by a 7 day tablet free interval. It is recommended that the tablets are taken at the same time every day.
Kindly take the medication as advised by your doctor.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
