Medicine Overview of Athena 30mg Tablet
Introduction
Athena is a medicine used to treat uterine fibroids (a non-cancerous growth in the uterus). It is used for intermittent treatment and pre-operative treatment of uterine fibroid in women of reproductive age. Athena reduces symptoms like vaginal bleeding, prolonged periods and lower back pain. It can be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time to get the most benefit. It should be taken as your doctor's advice. The dose and how often you take it depends on what you are taking it for. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms....

How to use Athena
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Athena may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How Athena works
Athena is a selective progesterone receptor modulator. It works by modifying the action of progesterone (natural female hormone). It is used either before surgery of fibroids or for intermittent (at regular intervals) treatment of fibroids. It helps reduce their size, stops or controls bleeding and increases your red blood cell count.
What if you forget to take Athena?
If you miss a dose of Athena, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
- Athena is used for the treatment of uterine fibroids and their associated symptoms, such as painful periods, heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
- It considerably reduces or stops your menstrual bleeding within the first 10 days of treatment. Notify your doctor if you continue to have heavy bleeding despite taking Athena.
- Your periods will usually start again within four weeks of stopping Athena.
- Use a reliable barrier contraceptive method (such as condoms or a diaphragm) to prevent pregnancy while you are taking Athena as it may make hormonal contraceptives (such as pills) less effective.
- Your doctor may get routine blood tests done to assess the functioning of your liver. Inform your doctor if you notice yellowing of skin/eye, dark urine, or stomach pain.
