Q: Is Anin (Allyloestrenol) used for habitual abortion and benign enlargement of prostate?

A:Allyloestrenol is a female progesterone hormone and can be used in a large number of disorders in women where progesterone is required. With the availability of so many good medicines for benign prostatic hypertrophy for males, female hormones are usually not used in this disorder.
