HOW REGESTRONE CR 10MG TABLET WORKS
REGESTRONE CR 10MG TABLET inhibits the release of pituitary hormones that are responsible for the release of female hormones (such as oestrogen and progesterone) and thereby suppresses ovulation. This action modifies the lining of the endometrium and thus ceases bleeding in menstrual abnormalities in cancer. REGESTRONE CR 10MG TABLET may act by pituitary inhibition or by direct action on tumour deposits.
