Endometrin: tablets or suppositories? What's the difference?

Endometriosis is a frequently diagnosed female pathology of hormonal origin, characterized by the growth of the uterine endometrium and its extension beyond the organ.

Late stages of the disease are treated exclusively with surgery. But in the initial form of endometriosis, suppositories show a good therapeutic result.

How to use Endometrin Antikan for endometriosis

Endometrin Antikan suppositories have a local effect and have a beneficial effect on women's health. Suppositories are the most reliable method of combating uterine pathologies.

Active components with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects quickly penetrate the mucous membranes of the affected organs.

Medicines in this form have much fewer contraindications and unpleasant consequences than tablets.

Description of the drug

In gynecology, Endometrin Antican is prescribed as part of complex therapy to combat various ailments. Depending on the severity of the disease, the doctor prescribes a course of treatment. On average it ranges from 30 to 60 procedures.

The suppository is inserted deep into the vagina after douching before bedtime. In some cases, it is recommended to use Endometrin Antican rectally. Each specific situation requires specialist consultation .

Indications for use

Endometrin tablets and suppositories are used to treat:

The product promotes better attachment of the embryo to the uterus. And its use in the early stages helps get rid of tone and reduce the risk of miscarriage. Thus, the use of the drug is possible during pregnancy and lactation.

Composition and pharmacological properties

The composition of Endometrin Antican candles includes oils of sea buckthorn, calendula, celandine, as well as extracts from mistletoe, elderberry, wormwood and lacunex.

The natural components of the drug promote rapid absorption.

Suppositories with natural substances are often recommended as a prophylactic agent in the prevention of female diseases. Their use at the initial stage of endometriosis helps to cope with the disease:

1. Sea buckthorn oil relieves bleeding, relieves swelling, accelerates tissue healing, and strengthens blood vessels.
2. Thanks to calendula oil, inflammation during erosion and endometritis of the genital organs is eliminated, foci of endometriosis resolve, and there is a therapeutic effect in the fight against various infections.
3. After the first course, the menstrual cycle normalizes, adhesions and inflammatory processes decrease. This is facilitated by elderberry and wormwood extracts.
4. Due to the oil of celandine and the essence of laconosa in its composition, Endometrin acts as a strong disinfectant and anti-inflammatory agent. It relieves pain and spasms well, eliminates tumors and inflammation, and normalizes metabolic processes in the tissues of the genital organs.
5. Mistletoe extract has a beneficial effect on the elasticity of blood vessels, fights pathogenic microflora, and helps the rapid healing of cracks and wounds.

Contraindications and side effects

Homeopathic suppositories Endometrin Antican are not a medicine, so no special contraindications have been identified.

The drug is not suitable for people with hypersensitivity to bee products. Side effects from the use of suppositories can include allergic reactions to any of the components of the medication.

Unlike hormonal agents, Endometrin Antican can be used in parallel with the treatment of endocrine diseases, since it does not contain hormones and acts locally.

Instructions for use for pregnant women

The instructions used for Endometrin will be the same for a pregnant patient as for everyone else.

Endometrin tablets

Vaginal tablets Endometrin is a progesterone preparation. Each tablet contains 100 mg of a hormone identical to that synthesized by the ovarian corpus luteum or placenta. This is the main hormone of the second phase of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Its function includes:

• preparation of the endometrium for implantation of the fertilized egg;
• decreased local immunity;
• formation of the placenta;
• maintaining pregnancy;
• decreased myometrial contractility;
• transformation of the mammary glands and preparation for lactation.

Therefore, progesterone preparations are widely used in gynecology in women with progesterone deficiency, as well as in obstetric practice during early pregnancy.

Mechanism of action

Estrogens are secreted by the ovaries in the first phase of the menstrual cycle; they lead to the proliferation of the endometrium and its restoration after rejection during menstruation. Under the influence of estrogens, active cell division occurs and blood vessels grow.

After ovulation, estrogens decrease, and the main activity belongs to progesterone. If the function of the corpus luteum is insufficient, subsequent transformation of the uterine mucosa does not occur. When used, the tablets dissolve in the vagina, are absorbed into the blood and quickly reach the endometrium. Under their influence, the endometrium transitions into the secretory phase:

• cell division stops;
• the number of glands increases;
• increased tortuosity of blood vessels;
• a nutritious secretion begins to be released.

The secretion product of the endometrial glands nourishes the embryo after implantation and supports its development. If there is not enough progesterone, the endometrium remains defective and pregnancy does not occur.

After the administration of one vaginal tablet, after 6 hours the maximum concentration of the hormone is observed in the blood. The half-life of the drug is 13 hours, so Endometrin is recommended to be used twice a day. Then a stable concentration of progesterone is maintained and there are no pronounced fluctuations.

The main metabolism takes place in the liver. Its residues are conjugated with glucuronides and sulfates. Metabolic products are eliminated through the intestines and kidneys.

Who are vaginal tablets recommended for?

Endometrin in the form of vaginal tablets is used for therapeutic purposes in patients with progesterone deficiency. The main indications are as follows:

• insufficiency of the luteal phase of the cycle;
• threat of termination of short term pregnancy;
• assisted reproductive technologies in preparation for IVF and after embryo transfer.

Lack of progesterone manifests itself:

• menstrual cycle disorders - due to a decrease in the function of the corpus luteum, menstruation may not arrive on time, delays appear, the intensity of bleeding changes, both heavy periods with an excess of estrogen and scanty discharge are observed;
• an increase in the likelihood of diseases associated with a violation of the ratio of sex steroids and the predominance of estrogens - these include endometriosis, endometrial hyperplasia, therefore Endometrin can be used to improve hormonal levels.

For women who are preparing for IVF, Endometrin is prescribed in the second phase of the cycle to improve the condition of the uterine mucosa. This will ensure implantation of the embryo and further maintenance of the pregnancy.

Contraindications and unwanted effects

The instructions for use do not recommend using the tablets on your own without consulting a doctor. The drug has contraindications:

• hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
• vaginal bleeding of unknown origin;
• tendency to increased blood clotting;
• thrombophlebitis, history of thromboembolism;
• ectopic pregnancy or incomplete abortion;
• porphyria;
• severe liver disease with insufficiency of its function;
• oncological diseases of the genital organs;
• lactation period.

Endometrin should be used with caution in the presence of diabetes, epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases, depression and migraines. It is not recommended to prescribe for poorly controlled arterial hypertension, chronic renal failure, bronchial asthma.

For fibroids, Endometrin tablets are not used. Recent studies show that already in the early stages the tumor has increased sensitivity to the hormone, so its growth only accelerates.

The following side effects may occur when using tablets:

• allergic reactions;
• acne, increased greasiness of skin and hair;
• soreness of the mammary glands;
• pain in the calf muscles;
• nausea, vomiting, flatulence;
• dryness of the genitals, itching;
• vaginitis, vaginal candidiasis;
• shortness of breath, chest pain;
• headaches, migraine attacks;
• fainting conditions;
• 2-3 trimester of pregnancy.

If the condition worsens due to the use of Endometrin, the drug is discontinued or switched to its analogues: Duphaston, Utrozhestan.

Recommendations for use and effectiveness

Endometrin tablets are intended for intravaginal use. They come with an applicator that makes it easier to administer the drug. The dosage is selected individually. The minimum daily dose is 200 mg. For women over 35 years of age, it is recommended to increase it to 300 mg.

For problems with conception, as well as to improve the condition of the endometrium, treatment begins on the 12th day of the menstrual cycle. If pregnancy is confirmed, progesterone continues to be used until the placenta forms and begins to function, which occurs no earlier than the 16th week of gestation. In some cases, the doctor may recommend administering Endometrin until the 20th week.

Progesterone is effective for luteal phase deficiency, its effects have been confirmed in clinical studies. It has been proven that therapy improves the condition of the endometrium, it enters the secretory phase, the menstrual cycle evens out, the likelihood of pregnancy increases or the risk of short-term abortion decreases. Side effects, despite their severity, are rare, and the drug is well tolerated.

Suppositories or tablets: what to choose?

Often, drugs that are familiar to us, for example, painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs, can be found not only in the form of tablets, but also in the form of suppositories.

Suppositories are divided into rectal, vaginal and stick-shaped. The base from which the drug is made melts when exposed to body temperature and releases the active substance, which is quickly absorbed into the blood through the mucous membrane. Bypassing a long journey through the esophagus and the aggressive environment of the stomach, this medicine has an effective local and general effect.

• When are suppositories prescribed?
• Depending on the symptoms and established diagnosis, the form of the drug should be prescribed by a doctor.

Suppositories are often used for local treatment. In addition, this form is prescribed for severe vomiting or digestive problems, as well as when it is impossible to open the mouth, for example, due to jaw injuries. Some children's medications come in the form of suppositories, since young children cannot swallow pills on their own.

It is worth noting that suppositories require careful storage in a dry, cool place. Melted medication must not be used!

What medications are available in the form of suppositories?

• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics

Such medications are prescribed to young children, as well as adults if it is not possible to take the medication orally.

• Antiviral drugs

Suppositories will be appropriate if a person is taking many medications at the same time, as well as for stomach diseases.

In case of severe poisoning, the usual use of medications may be useless, so the doctor may prescribe the drug in the form of suppositories.

Along with many oral laxatives, glycerin suppositories are an effective remedy for constipation. However, they cannot be used constantly: they quickly become addictive, which can aggravate the problem.

For such a delicate disease, ointments and suppositories are often prescribed. Unlike painkillers, they act locally and relieve inflammation and pain faster.

• Remedies for gynecological diseases

Quite often, suppositories are used in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as microflora disorders. However, in most cases, such diseases still require complex therapy, including oral medications and suppositories.

Remember, medications have contraindications. The final decision on the prescription of certain medications should be made only by the attending physician!

Various suppositories for endometritis: which ones are prescribed and why

The basis of the course of treatment for endometritis is antibacterial agents, which are used in various dosage forms.

Preparations for local use in the form of rectal and vaginal suppositories show high effectiveness. Suppositories are available with different compositions and pharmacological effects.

They can have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and absorbable effects during adhesions.

What effective suppositories are prescribed for treatment of endometritis?

Therapy of any inflammatory disease of the female reproductive system is a complex system, the main role in which is given to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. They are usually prescribed in the form of tablets or injections, but suppositories are an equally effective dosage form.

• The advantage of suppositories is their direct impact on infectious agents, which contributes to their rapid destruction.
• In addition, the active ingredients bypass the gastrointestinal tract and do not have a negative effect on the liver and kidneys.
• In the treatment of endometritis, suppositories can be used in two ways:

• by inserting a suppository deep into the vagina (Flagyl, Hexicon and others);
• rectally, that is, by introducing it into the rectum through the anus (Diclofenac, Longidaza and others).

The choice of specific suppositories for the treatment of endometritis depends on many factors:

• the nature of the disease;
• acute or chronic stage;
• severity of symptoms;
• individual reaction to a specific drug.
