Maintane 5mg tablet uses:

• Preventing threatened or recurrent miscarriage
• Managing preterm labor
• Supporting high-risk pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
• Treatment of habitual abortion linked to luteal phase deficiency

Allylestrenol tablets 5mg maintane works by mimicking the natural hormone progesterone, which is essential for maintaining a healthy pregnancy. It stabilises the endometrial lining (the inner lining of the uterus), reduces uterine contractions, and supports the overall hormonal environment needed to sustain a pregnancy. By doing so, it helps prevent complications such as miscarriage and premature delivery in at-risk women. Unlike some other progestins, Allylestrenol has minimal androgenic activity, making it suitable for prolonged use during pregnancy when prescribed.

Serious drug interactions may occur when Maintane tablet 5 mg is combined with certain medications. Always inform your doctor about all drugs you’re taking, including herbal supplements.

General drug interaction risks include:

• Anticonvulsants (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine): May reduce the effectiveness of Allylestrenol by increasing its metabolism.
• Rifampicin and other CYP450 inducers: These can also lower plasma levels of Allylestrenol, reducing its therapeutic benefits.
• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Progestins may affect blood clotting; monitor INR closely.
• HIV medications (e.g., ritonavir): Can impact hormonal balance and drug levels.
• Hormonal therapies or contraceptives: Concurrent use can cause hormonal imbalances or unintended effects.
