Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The components of Cyclodinone help to normalize the concentration of sex hormones.
The drug causes a decrease in prolactin production, which eliminates hyperprolactinemia. Due to the increased concentration of prolactin, the secretion of gonadotropins is disrupted, which can lead to disruption of follicular maturation, ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum. In the future, this leads to an imbalance between progesterone and estradiol, which is fraught with menstrual irregularities and the development of mastodynia. Prolactin, unlike estrogens and other hormones, also has a direct stimulating effect on proliferative processes in the mammary glands, causing the expansion of the milk ducts and enhancing the formation of connective tissue. With a decrease in the content of prolactin, the reverse development of pathological processes in the mammary glands occurs, the pain syndrome is stopped. With the rhythmic production and normalization of the ratio of gonadotropic hormones, the second phase of the menstrual cycle is normalized.

- premenstrual syndrome;
- menstrual irregularities;
