GRAVION GRANULES 5GM belongs to the category of a synthetic progesterone female hormone called progestin used to prevent premature labor. Premature labor can start before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy and can be caused due to premature rupture of membranes, high blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia) and poor diet. A miscarriage is an unexpected loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks of pregnancy. It mostly happens during the first trimester, or the first three months, of the pregnancy. 

GRAVION GRANULES 5GM contains “Allylestrenol” a progestin (female hormones) that works by modulating the immune response of the pregnant women to prevent rejection of the embryo and allow its attachment to the uterus and improving blood flow to the placenta. GRAVION GRANULES 5GM prevents repeated miscarriage (pregnancy loss) and helps lower the risk of premature birth in pregnant women who have had a past premature delivery.
