Cyclodinone is a herbal medicine developed for the treatment of premenstrual syndrome and cycle disorders. The medicine has an effect by regulating the production of gonadotropic hormones and improving the second phase of the menstrual cycle.
Common twig extract, on the basis of which the drug was developed, has long been used to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce the hormone prolactin in a woman’s body.
Prolactin is a hormone, an excess of which disrupts the ovulation process, and a deficiency of which affects conception. The production of this hormone is influenced by a lot of circumstances: modern ecology, stress, diseases; It is difficult to find a woman whose body has never experienced hormonal imbalances as a result of the influence of these factors.
How to cure an ovarian cyst without surgery
The formation of cysts is often observed in women of reproductive age. Neoplasms are usually a diagnostic finding because they tend to progress asymptomatically. When it reaches a large size, pain localized in the lower abdomen and disruption of the functioning of neighboring organs may appear. In advanced cases, surgery may be required.
Gynecologists call hormonal imbalances the main cause of formations. The classification includes the following types of cysts:
- single and multiple;
- one-sided and two-sided;
- uncomplicated and complicated;
- follicular, corpus luteum, paraovarian, dermoid, endometrioid.
In rare cases, the cyst may be complicated by torsion of the pedicle, rupture of the capsule and suppuration, which requires surgery.
Treatment of ovarian cysts can be either conservative or surgical. Drug therapy involves taking medications prescribed by a doctor. Treatment is complemented by physiotherapy. Traditional remedies have a good effect. If drug treatment is not effective, surgery is recommended.
Reviews of doctors and women about Cyclodinone
- I have had problems with irregular and painful cycles since my first menstruation, but doctors only shrugged their shoulders and prescribed antispasmodics (No-shpa, Spazmalgon, Tamipul). As a result, not a single day went by without the use of painkillers. At the next visit to the gynecologist, the doctor expressed suspicion of a hormonal imbalance and suggested that I be examined. And so it happened, the tests were not reassuring. The doctor decided to prescribe me Cyclodinone. Although I didn’t really believe in the effectiveness of the drug, homeopathy does not inspire confidence. But still better than hormonal therapy - I was terribly afraid of it. Especially possible weight gain. I decided to try it. At first, the drug disappointed me, in the first days and even weeks there was no result, I already regretted the money spent. But when my period came, the pain was insignificant and for the first time in my life I did without pills! I honestly finished the prescribed course and now I remember the sensations I experienced like a bad dream. There is no pain, you don’t need to kill your body with a huge number of pills, and in general - life these days is not much different now - no discomfort. The drug helped me get rid of a problem that had been bothering me for a long time.
- After giving birth, the cycle did not recover for a long time, but I did not pay attention to this, because I was breastfeeding for a long time and the doctor said that this was acceptable. But after the cessation of lactation, the situation only worsened: you could forget about frequency - sometimes the cycle was 2 weeks, or you had to wait 35–40 days. In addition, the discharge has become very abundant, which was not the case before. 6 months after the cessation of lactation, I turned to my doctor with a problem; within such a period the cycle should have normalized. After an examination and ultrasound, which did not reveal any special problems, I was offered to be examined for hormones. This is where the glitch was discovered. I was prescribed this drug. I took it in tablets because it was more convenient for me. At first my stomach pulled a little, but then the feeling of discomfort went away. The first month there were no special changes; periods were still very heavy. But after 2 months the result became noticeable - there was less discharge. After another month, I already knew exactly when to expect these days - the cycle had improved! Finally, you can plan your life normally without fear of unpleasant surprises. I took the course for 4 months instead of the prescribed 3 at the insistence of the doctor. I took the tests again - everything returned to normal at the hormonal level. I can add one more positive thing - my skin and hair, which had gotten very worse after bearing a child, have become better - there is no rash on my face and my hair has stopped thinning. Such a nice bonus to the main problem cured.
- Since adolescence, like everyone else during this period, I suffered from rashes on my face. Before menstruation, a nightmare began - the forehead, nose, and chin were covered with large pimples. This did not add any advantages to my appearance or self-esteem... Time passed, but the problem did not change much - the rash was just as profuse and associated with the cycle, but on top of that, the skin began to quickly become oily and acne began to be localized in the U-zone. I kept changing cosmetic skin care products, tried to be treated with folk remedies, but there were no results at all. One cosmetologist drew attention to the rash area and advised me to consult an endocrinologist. After donating blood for hormones, my problem was discovered: elevated prolactin. I was prescribed Cyclodinone, although I didn’t really believe that the rash could be treated with any medications, I thought that it was a dermatological problem. After two months of taking the drops, the condition of the skin improved significantly. A month later there were no new rashes at all. For the first time in many years, my skin is clear and fresh.
- Due to problems with cycle irregularity, my husband and I are still unable to conceive a child. It is simply impossible to calculate the days of ovulation. I used to treat salpingitis and the doctor said that it was the consequences of inflammation. Recently, a friend recommended her doctor, who noticed that during the diagnosis there were no hormone tests. Now I’m taking Cyclodinone (for the 3rd month already), my cycle is normalizing. We plan to re-examine ourselves after finishing the course of treatment and hope for a quick pregnancy.

Instructions for use of Cyclodinone drops
› Drops ›
The herbal preparation Cyclodinone is used as an alternative to hormonal treatment. The product is effective for disorders of the menstrual cycle and ovarian function. In women with premenstrual syndrome, the drug reduces the severity of pain, swelling, and heaviness in the mammary glands. It contains a plant component that has a hormone-like effect.
Composition and release form
Cyclodinone drops are a transparent liquid with a yellow-brown tint and a specific odor. The drug may precipitate, but this does not affect the effectiveness. The active component of the solution is a dry extract of the fruits of the common twig (sacred vitex or Abraham tree). Additionally, the liquid contains:

How do Cyclodinone drops work?
The substances in the composition restore the balance of sex hormones. The main active component has a dopaminergic effect, due to which the production of the hormone prolactin is reduced, its level gradually decreases in the blood. High levels of prolactin can disrupt the synthesis of gonadotropins, which can interfere with the maturation of follicles and the corpus luteum.
Violation of ovulation and follicle maturation leads to an imbalance between progesterone and estradiol, which disrupts the menstrual cycle and causes mastodynia. The manifestation of excess prolactin has a stimulating effect on the processes of proliferation in the tissues of the mammary glands.
The rapid growth of connective tissue causes dilation of the gland ducts. While taking Cyclodinone drops, the level of the hormone decreases, reverse development of tissue in the mammary glands occurs, and taking it also reduces chest pain.
Normalizing the ratio of hormones when taking the drug normalizes the second phase of the menstrual cycle.

Reviews
Svetlana, 29 years old, Moscow There was a menstrual cycle disorder due to excess prolactin. The gynecologist prescribed a hormonal drug, but I was afraid to take hormones and asked to change the drug. They prescribed Cyclodinone, a herbal preparation. She was treated for three months, and her cycle gradually recovered.
In addition, I noticed that during the treatment, the signs of premenstrual syndrome began to appear less: my breasts stopped hurting, my weakness and irritability disappeared. Therefore, I was very pleased with the drug. Marina, 27 years old, St. Petersburg Two years ago I had a miscarriage, after which my prolactin level did not return to normal.
The attending physician prescribed me hormonal medications. I took them for 1 month, no effect. I went to see another doctor, he advised me to take Cyclodinone, which, unlike other drugs, does not contain hormones and can prepare the body for a future pregnancy. I took drops for 3 months - my cycle returned to normal, my prolactin level was also normal.
Lyubov, 29 years old, Krasnodar I recommend Cyclodinone drops to all my friends, because thanks to them I was able to get pregnant. Due to irregularities in the menstrual cycle and ovulation, I took hormones for a long time, from which I began to gain weight. I didn’t notice any effect from them, I just got better.
I changed my doctor, he advised me to try Cyclodinone, which normalizes prolactin levels, which is why I might not have been able to get pregnant. I was treated for almost 4 months, I was able to get pregnant after 8.5 months, so I am very grateful to the doctor who prescribed it to me.
According to reviews, Cyclodinone, by restoring prolactin levels, helps women become pregnant if the cause of infertility was a cycle disorder due to an excess of the hormone. The drug has side effects, but they occur extremely rarely when the components are intolerant or the dosage is exceeded.

Reviews
Victoria Sergeevna Martynyuk, 24 years old, Syktyvkar
I consulted a doctor about not being pregnant for a year. During an ultrasound examination, it turned out that a small cyst had formed on the right ovary. After a hormonal study, Regulon was prescribed. For a long time I didn’t dare to start taking pills. However, reviews have been mostly good. A few months later, she underwent a follow-up ultrasound, which showed that the formation had decreased.
Anastasia Aleksandrovna Gribova, 29 years old, St. Petersburg
The doctor prescribed Longidaza suppositories for extensive adhesions and a cyst in the right ovary. I didn’t want to spend money on an ineffective medicine, especially since it can’t be called budget. Judging by the reviews, Longidaza is well tolerated, affecting foci of inflammation in the pelvis and adhesions. After the course of treatment, she was examined by a gynecologist. The condition has improved, the pain in the side has become less pronounced.
Svetlana Ivanovna Gorodetskaya, 31 years old, Vladivostok
A gynecologist prescribed Indomethacin suppositories to me after polycystic ovary syndrome was diagnosed. Suppositories eliminate pain and inflammation. The pain was so severe that it radiated to the leg and side. I used the medicine for 7 days. I didn't notice any side effects.
Where to buy and analogues
Cyclodinone can be purchased at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. However, it is still not recommended to take this pharmaceutical drug on your own, since it affects dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland.
There are no exact analogues of the drug on the pharmaceutical market. However, on the recommendation of a doctor, you can purchase other products at the pharmacy that help reduce prolactin:
- "Bromocriptine";
- "Cabergoline".
These pharmaceuticals belong to synthetic pharmacological agents, and therefore have a number of side effects. Thus, they are prescribed to a limited extent to patients with arterial hypertension, peptic ulcer disease, and mental disorders. In addition, Cabergoline and Bromocriptine can influence the speed of mental and motor reactions, which limits their use in some patients.
The use of Cyclodinone in gynecology is justified in case of elevated prolactin in the blood. Considering that it contains only a herbal component, it causes virtually no side effects and is well tolerated by patients. However, its use must be agreed with a doctor, otherwise the treatment may not give the expected effect.
Cyclodinone for endometriosis and polycystic disease
Gynecological pathologies are diverse in nature. In most cases, they are caused by hormonal imbalances. Treatment of such pathological processes consists of symptomatic therapy, that is, elimination of manifestations, as well as etiological resolution of the root cause.
Among the common diseases of the female reproductive system are polycystic disease (the formation of many small follicles filled with exudate), endometriosis (the proliferation of cells of the mucous membrane of the functional layer of the endometrium beyond the normal anatomical position), and amenorrhea (the complete absence of menstruation for one or several cycles).
In therapy, both drugs based on synthetic gestagens and phytotherapeutic agents are used. They are used in tandem, often complementing surgical therapy. One of the effective herbal drugs is Cyclodinone. How and when to use it? We need to look into this in more detail.
Cyclodinone: indications for use, contraindications and possible side effects
According to some doctors, Cyclodinone can normalize the functioning of the endocrine system and increase the chances of conception. But on the forums there are many opinions regarding the advisability of taking this drug in view of the wide range of negative effects it has on the body. What are the side effects of Cyclodinone?
What is the drug?
The functioning of the reproductive system largely depends on hormonal levels. Often, due to improper production of one or another hormone, a couple cannot conceive a child for a long time.
There are many drugs to regulate hormonal balance, among which Cyclodinone, a herbal drug whose active substance is an extract of common twig, is somewhat popular.
Its main function is to normalize the content of sex hormones in the blood of a woman’s body, providing a dopaminergic effect. Due to this, it is possible to reduce the level of prolactin in the body. Thus, with a high content of this hormone, a disruption of ovulatory processes and folliculogenesis is observed, which leads to an imbalance of progesterone and estradiol.
Another effect of this drug is to stimulate the formation of connective tissue in the mammary glands. Due to this, there is an expansion of the ducts, a reduction in the risk of developing pathological processes in the mammary glands and a decrease in their sensitivity.
Release form of the drug Cyclodinone: tablets and drops. How to take this medication, in what dosage, is recommended by a fertility specialist. It is also worth considering that this remedy has a number of contraindications and side effects. Therefore, before taking this herbal medicine, be sure to consult a specialist.
If a positive effect after therapy with this drug is not observed and the examination confirms this, then, in most cases, the doctor prescribes therapy to the patient based on synthetic or natural hormones.
In what cases is it recommended?
Indications for the use of this remedy are the following conditions:
- Menstrual irregularities – irregular periods, anovulatory cycles, etc.
- Infertility caused by underdevelopment of the corpus luteum in the epididymis.
- Mastodynia is increased sensitivity of the mammary glands during menstruation and PMS. This condition can also be characterized by breast swelling and an increase in local temperature in the mammary glands.
- With pronounced PMS, causing discomfort. Here, in addition to swelling of the mammary glands, headaches, increased irritability and emotional instability are observed.
- PCOS – polycystic ovary syndrome. Cyclodinone is prescribed if the pathology is caused by an imbalance of prolactin, progesterone and estrogen in a woman’s body.
- Endometriosis is a disease associated with uneven growth of the inner layer of the uterine mucosa.
- Problems with the skin - acne, rashes - caused by hormonal imbalance.
- Menopause and symptoms accompanying it.
Contraindications and side effects
There are a number of contraindications to the use of the drug:
- individual intolerance to the active substance;
- Children under 12 years of age are prohibited from taking the drug - this is due to the fact that it is at this age that the formation of the hormonal system occurs, and additional intake of even plant hormones can disrupt the functioning of the system;
- the herbal medicine in the form of a solution is made on the basis of alcohol, therefore it is contraindicated for patients who have undergone treatment for a chronic form of alcoholism;
- the drug contains lactose, so patients with individual intolerance to this substance are not recommended to take Cyclodinone;
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Your doctor will prescribe how to take Cyclodinone. Therefore, I would like to emphasize once again: only a qualified specialist can prescribe this or that drug, taking into account the need for it and the physiological characteristics of the patient’s body. Self-medication can lead to irreversible consequences.
If after taking the drug there are any signs of an allergic reaction in the form of itching, redness, burning, etc., then you must immediately stop the course of treatment with Cyclodinone and seek advice from a specialist to prescribe replacement therapy.
Important! It is strictly forbidden to combine the use of Cyclodinone with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. This can provoke the development of various kinds of side effects and lead to serious disturbances in the hormonal system.
As for side effects, the herbal medicine can provoke:
- from the gastrointestinal tract - vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain;
- in relation to the skin - rashes, itching, redness, urticaria;
- from the central nervous system - headaches, dizziness, emotional instability, hallucinations, clouding of reason, disruption of the respiratory system.
In case of a pronounced allergic reaction, it is necessary to take an antiallergic drug, for example, Cetrin. After relief of allergy symptoms, over the next few days it is recommended to drink as much fluid as possible, which will remove allergens from the body.
Such a side effect is possible only if the woman does not comply with the doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of taking the drug, and in case of individual intolerance.
Does Cyclodinone help you get pregnant?
When taking Cyclodinone at the stage of pregnancy planning, many patients note that it really helps not only to normalize the menstrual cycle, but also has a positive effect on the functioning of the entire reproductive system as a whole.
According to reviews, 6 out of 10 women were able to get pregnant within a year after taking a course of this remedy.
But at the same time, some note the low durability of the drug: for example, after its discontinuation, a return to the state of the body in which it was before undergoing therapy was observed. PMS returned and menstrual irregularities were observed. This effect is an indication that the drug is not a panacea and it may not be suitable in every individual case.
Also, the low effectiveness of this herbal medicine is observed in the absence of indications for its use. Against this background, the current condition not only does not improve, but also rapidly worsens, provoking the development of pathological conditions in the reproductive system.
Bottom line
At the end of this publication, I would like to say the following: the hormonal system of women is unique and its work depends on a number of factors.
As such, there is no panacea for normalizing this or that process in the body: for some, preparations based on the fruits of the common twig are suitable, but for others, synthetic agents will be more effective. All this is purely individual.
Therefore, only a doctor should prescribe this or that drug: he will prescribe an appropriate examination to determine the current state of the body and, based on this, select the most appropriate treatment.

Compound
Currently, Cyclodinone is available in two pharmaceutical forms: tablets and drops. In both cases, the method of administration is oral.
The composition of the pharmaceutical product includes twig extract. This is a natural storehouse of useful substances. In gynecology, twigs are used especially actively. This plant contains tannins, flavonoids, camphor, quinone, and other active substances.
Thanks to such a rich chemical composition, the drug based on this useful plant has an anti-inflammatory, stimulating effect, helps relieve stress and alleviates premenstrual syndrome. In addition, the body's resistance to pathogenic agents from the outside increases.
What is the drug
Is the drug hormonal? The main active ingredient of "Cyclodinone" is an extract obtained from common twig. This plant has been known for its healing properties since ancient times. It was used in the treatment of female diseases, and also as a means of reducing libido.
Modern medical experiments have proven that common twig blocks the release of prolactin from pituitary cells. This effect is due to the ability of the active components of the plant to stimulate dopaminergic receptors of the pituitary gland. With long-term use of the drug in the blood, a significant decrease in prolactin is determined, in some patients by 40-90%. It is this effect that determines the therapeutic effect of Cyclodinone. While using the medication:
- the menstrual cycle normalizes;
- the phenomena of mastodynia are reduced;
- the level of estradiol and progesterone in the blood is restored.
Cyclodinone is produced in two pharmaceutical forms:
- pills;
- solution for oral administration.
Cyclodinone tablets contain up to 4.8 mg of the main active ingredient (extract from common twig). In addition, the medicine contains: lactose, cellulose, fillers, magnesium stearate, and the shell also contains small amounts of dyes.
Cyclodinone solution is produced for oral administration. It contains twig extract; 100 ml of the medicine contains about 288 mg. The pharmaceutical product also contains additives that impart a pleasant taste and aroma: mint flavor, sodium sucrose, sorbitol. This also includes polysorbate, ethyl alcohol and other components. In pharmacies you can buy bottles of different sizes: 50 or 100 ml. The price may vary depending on which pharmacy you purchase the drug from.
Action
The main pharmacological properties of Cyclodinone are due to the inclusion of Povidone and twig extract. The main reason for the development of amenorrhea, polycystic disease and endometriosis is an excess of estrogens and special hormones of the anterior pituitary gland, primarily prolactin.
The active components included in the twig extract increase the production of natural dopamine, which acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary system, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of prolactin, preventing excess estrogen production.
The hormonal balance is normalized, primarily estrogen and progesterone. Thus, there is a weakening of PMS symptoms and normalization of the menstrual cycle. Povidone, as already mentioned, has the ability to remove toxins from the body, which actively accumulate as a result of hormonal changes and provoke, among other things, some symptoms of PMS.
At the same time, Cyclodinone itself is not a hormonal drug; it is of purely plant origin.
Cyclodinone analogs
There are two drugs on the pharmacological market with a composition identical to Cyclodinone: these are Agnukaston capsules and an extract of the fruit of the common twig.
There are also medications with other active ingredients that are prescribed for the same ailments:
- Dysmenorm,
- Gynopower,
- Bromocriptine,
- Angelika Forte,
- Lifemin,
- Masto-gran,
- Mastodinon,
- Ovarium,
- Remens,
- Normomens,
- Tazalok,
- Utrozhestan,
- Femiwell,
- Extrowell,
- Danol,
- Duphaston,
- Klimadinon,
- Mammoleptin,
- Cimiciplant.
Application
In tablet form, Cyclodinone is taken one tablet once a day for 3 months without breaks, washed down with plenty of water. At the end of the course, it is recommended to continue taking the product for another month.
Drops are taken in a tablespoon (about 40 milliliters) once a day for the same period. Before using the medicine, the bottle should be shaken vigorously.
In general, the dosage and treatment regimen are determined by the doctor who is caring for a particular patient. It is recommended to take both tablets and drops in the morning.
How to take Cyclodinone? Instructions for use of the drug
Every woman at least once in her life has had problems that indirectly or directly related to the sexual sphere.
Irregularities in the menstrual cycle occur especially often, regardless of the age and type of activity of the fair sex.
In view of this, a huge number of drugs are produced that are designed to regulate menstruation.
Cyclodinone also falls into this category, and we will talk about it today.
pharmachologic effect
This product is completely of plant origin. Its use helps normalize the menstrual cycle and reduce some symptoms during menstruation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLbWh1BbmxQ
This happens due to the fact that the constituent components of Cyclodinone affect the concentration of sex hormones. The drug has a dopaminergic effect.
Excessive concentrations of prolactin also negatively affect breast health.
Reducing this substance by taking Cyclodinone will help relieve pain in the chest and adjust the second phase of the menstrual cycle
its role is to reduce the body's production of prolactin.
For this reason, taking this drug helps counteract hyperprolactinemia. It is because of this disease that the secretion of gonadotropins is disrupted.
A similar problem can manifest itself as insufficient maturation of follicular centers and ovulation disorders.
It is also possible that there may be a difference in the concentrations of the sex hormones estradiol and progesterone. This discrepancy leads to disruption of the menstrual cycle and/or mastodynia.
What is better drops or tablets?
Cyclodinone is a drug that has two forms of release. It is known that in drops the content of twig is slightly higher, and in tablets the amount of active substance is slightly less. For this reason, it is better to use Cyclodinone on the recommendation of a doctor and in the prescribed dosage.
The action of Cyclodinone does not differ in either form.
The only thing is that the alcohol tincture can be absorbed and act a little faster
The advantage of tablets over drops is that during use they do not emit the specific herbal odor of twig extract. Not all women can tolerate it, which is why they prefer the tablet form of the drug.
Those who drive a vehicle also cannot take drops of alcohol when choosing tablets.
