About Dubloc Tablet

Dubloc Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called progestogens used to treat heavy, painful, irregular or missed periods, absence of periods, and uterine bleeding. It is also used to treat mild to moderate endometriosis and to decrease the risk of endometrial hyperplasia (a condition that may lead to uterine cancer) while taking estrogens. Dubloc Tablet may also be used to prevent pregnancy.

Dubloc Tablet contains medroxyprogesterone acetate that works by replacing or supplementing the naturally produced female sex hormone called progesterone. Dubloc Tablet treats endometriosis by thinning the uterine lining, thereby preventing the spread of tissues from the uterus to other body parts. It helps prevent pregnancy by stopping the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation).

  • Use gentle alcohol-free skin care products. Avoid products that might irritate your skin such as exfoliants, astringents and toners.
