Cyclic Regimen

Meaning

A cyclic regimen, in the context of hormone therapy, is a structured dosing protocol that involves the daily administration of estrogen combined with the intermittent addition of a progestogen for a set number of days each month, followed by a progestogen-free interval. This regimen is specifically designed to mimic the natural hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle, leading to a predictable, scheduled withdrawal bleed. It is commonly prescribed for perimenopausal women or those who are closer to menopause and prefer to maintain a regular bleeding pattern for clinical monitoring and personal preference.
