PMS symptoms affect body and mind

Premenstrual syndrome – PMS for short – encompasses a variety of symptoms that regularly occur in the days before menstruation. Symptoms can worsen until the onset of menstruation and usually disappear afterwards.

The duration and intensity of the symptoms vary individually. Some women suffer for only a few days, while for others, symptoms can last up to two weeks.

PMS can manifest itself physically as well as mentally. Typical symptoms include:

• Discomfort

• Increased pain sensitivity

• Abdominal pain

• Headaches

• Irritability

• Depressive moods

Agnucaston® forte – for more well-being before your period

Agnucaston® forte offers an effective yet gentle way to support PMS symptoms.

The contained chasteberry helps to balance hormone levels and alleviate typical menstrual symptoms such as breast pain or feelings of tension.

For optimal treatment success, regular intake for at least 3 months is recommended – even during menstruation.

Agnucaston® forte is available in Austrian pharmacies.

Chasteberry – a proven medicinal plant for women

Chasteberry has a long tradition and was already described as a medicinal plant in ancient times.

The plant owes its name to its berry-like fruits, which resemble pepper in appearance and taste. Early on, chasteberry was used not only as a spice but also to treat women-specific ailments.

Today, chasteberry is used especially for premenstrual syndrome and mastodynia (breast pain).

Mode of action – Balance for the days before your period

PMS is often caused by a hormonal imbalance. In particular, an elevated prolactin level can contribute to the development of typical symptoms.

Agnucaston® forte supports natural hormone regulation by allowing the contained chasteberry to bind to so-called dopamine (D2) receptors. This can naturally lower prolactin levels – similar to endogenous dopamine.

This way, the hormonal balance can stabilize and typical PMS symptoms can be alleviated without hormone intake.
