Opran Filmtablet 20 mg 90 pcs

What is Opran and when is it used?

Opran contains a dry extract of the fruits of chaste tree (Vitex agnus castus) as an active ingredient.The fruits of chaste tree relieve symptoms before menstruation (premenstrual syndrome, PMS). Opran is therefore used for complaints that begin up to two weeks before menstruation and disappear again when bleeding begins. The complaints include physical and mental ailments that make everyday work difficult. These are complaints such as headaches, skin problems, a slight feeling of tension in the breasts, abdominal pain and mood swings, irritability, nervous tension, moodiness, tiredness and sleep problems. In addition, Opran is also traditionally used for menstrual cycle disorders (too frequent or too infrequent menstrual bleeding).Opran can also be taken by women who are taking a preparation for hormonal contraception ("the pill") and have symptoms before the menstrual period.

If you have tension and swelling in the breasts or if you have problems with your menstrual period, you should consult a doctor. This medicinal product contains approx. 40 mg of usable carbohydrates per single dose (1 film-coated tablet). The drug is suitable for diabetics.
