Cyclogest is a brand name for the medication progesterone, which is used to enhance feminization and achieve a more balanced hormone profile.
Administration
Preparation
- Cyclogest pessaries (sometimes known as vaginal suppositories) can be inserted into the vagina or rectum using an applicator provided with the medication.
- Before using Cyclogest, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Unwrap the Cyclogest suppository and remove it from its packaging.
Administration Technique
- People who have had a new vagina created through gender-affirming surgery should consider which type of tissue their vagina is made of.
- If it is constructed from colon then pessaries and suppositories would be absorbed from there.
- If it is made from penile inversion then absorption may be reduced, and rectal insertion would be better.
- Lie on your back with your knees bent or stand with one foot elevated on a stool or chair.
- Gently insert the suppository as far as it will comfortably go using the applicator provided.
- Push the plunger on the applicator to release the suppository.
- Remove the applicator and discard it properly.
Timing
- Use Cyclogest pessaries at the same time each day.
- Follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
- Do not skip doses or alter the dosage.
Post-Administration Care
- After using Cyclogest, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Don't dispose of unwanted medication via wastewater or household waste.
- Ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use.
