• Promotes Uterine Quiescence: Hydroxyprogesterone helps maintain a state of rest in the uterus, known as uterine quiescence. This essentially suppresses uterine contractions, helping to prevent preterm birth.

• Maintains the Uterine Lining: Hydroxyprogesterone also assists in maintaining the uterine lining, which is crucial for a healthy pregnancy. A healthy uterine lining is better equipped to support the development of the foetus, thus further reducing the risk of preterm birth.
