Allylestrenol was used to treat 375 women with threatened pregnancies. Results show that this drug is capable of maintaining pregnancy in a large series of ambulant patients and is safe for both mother and child. Allylestrenol does not maintain pregnancy if placental dysfunction is present, however. Newborns whose mothers are treated with allylestrenol have slightly higher birth weights than controls. The possible role of allylestrenol in this process is discussed. At high doses, allylestrenol effectively stops premature labor, suggesting a selective action on the myometrium.
Allylestrenol also known as allyloestrenol and allyl estrenol, is a synthetic progestogen used to prevent threatened miscarriage, recurrent pregnancy loss and premature labor. In men, it has also been studied as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, with encouraging results.
Allylestrenol is sold under several trade names, including Gestin, Turinal,Gestrenol, Gestanin, Gestanol or Gestanon, Maintaine, Orageston, and Profar. It is currently not marketed in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada, but as of 2011, is extensively used in Bangladesh,Japan, Russia, India, and much of Southeast Asia.
