Function
Angong progesterone is a synthetic luteinizing hormone. The raw material is white or off-white crystalline powder. It is easily soluble in chloroform, dissolved in acetone, slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, slightly soluble in absolute ethanol, insoluble in water. It can quickly repair the endometrium. After the drug is stopped for a period of time, retreating bleeding can occur because the endometrial layer completely falls off and a small amount of residual tissue in the uterus is taken out together. The effect of drug-induced curettage can replace the uterine curettage, and the anti-infective treatment can reduce the complications of medical abortion. It can also be widely used to treat irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc. Injection can be used as a long-acting contraceptive, large doses for the treatment of breast cancer,
