Kiagest H 500mg Injection belongs to the category of a synthetic progesterone female hormone called progestin used to prevent premature labour. Premature labour can start before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy and can be caused by premature rupture of membranes, high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia), and poor diet. Preterm labour symptoms include leaking fluid or bleeding from the vagina, the feeling of pressure in the pelvis, and cramps that feel like menstrual cramps regularly.

Kiagest H 500mg Injection contains 'Hydroxyprogesterone', a progestin (female hormones) that modulates the immune response of pregnant women to prevent rejection of the embryo and allow its attachment to the uterus. Kiagest H 500mg Injection prevents miscarriage and helps lower the risk of premature birth in pregnant women who have had past premature labour. Kiagest H 500mg Injection should be administered only to those pregnant women who are pregnant with one baby or who have had a preterm (premature) delivery of one baby in the past.

• Eat a healthy and balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to reduce the risk of preterm delivery.
• Try to include heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid-containing food drinks in your daily diet. You can also use low-fat cooking oils like olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil, and coconut oil.
• I prefer whole foods and grains to processed ones. I avoid processed foods and foods high in sugar and fat.
• Avoid stress, as it can increase the chances of preterm delivery. Try to enjoy and spend time with your loved ones to cope with stress and practice mindfulness techniques.
• Regular physical activity and yoga keep you fit, help improve blood circulation, and regulate the oxygen supply, thereby improving your chances of carrying your baby full term.
• Quitting smoking is the best strategy to lower the risk of premature delivery.
• Keep your weight under control.
• Try to avoid alcohol as it can affect your stomach and intestine and limit the absorption of the important nutrients required by your body.
