Proluton Depot 500mg/2ml Injection is a prescription hormone medicine used in pregnancy to help prevent premature labour and lower the risk of preterm birth in women who have had a previous premature delivery. It is also used to support pregnancies at risk of miscarriage. Each ml contains Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate IP 250 mg in an oily base of castor oil and benzyl benzoate, so one 2 ml ampoule delivers 500 mg. Each dispo-pack includes a sterile disposable syringe and a 21G needle. It is manufactured by Cadila Healthcare Limited and marketed by German Remedies, a division of Zydus Cadila.

How It Works

Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate is a long-acting synthetic form of progesterone, the natural hormone that maintains pregnancy. After intramuscular injection, it is released slowly from the oily depot over several days. It helps keep the lining of the uterus stable and relaxes the uterine muscle, reducing contractions that could lead to early labour. This supports the pregnancy and gives the baby more time to grow and develop before birth.
