Frequently asked questions
What is 9FB SR 200 Tablet?
9FB SR 200 Tablet is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants, but its properties closely resemble those of human progesterone. The medication undergoes a process called micronization, which reduces the size of the natural progesterone particles. This smaller particle size enhances its dissolution and absorption within the body. This improved bioavailability helps in better availability of 9FB SR 200 Tablet for use and decreases potential side effects.
What is 9FB SR 200 Tablet used to treat?
9FB SR 200 Tablet is prescribed for a range of conditions. It is commonly given to women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation for three consecutive months in women who have had periods before). It also assists with pregnancy support, preventing premature labor, and treating bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. This medication can be utilized as part of fertility treatments or as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it is used to manage premenstrual syndrome symptoms and painful menstrual bleeding (dysfunctional uterine bleeding).
Can I take 9FB SR 200 Tablet every day?
Yes, you can take 9FB SR 200 Tablet daily. It is typically prescribed to be taken once a day in the evening or at bedtime. The typical duration of prescription may vary from 10-12 days per cycle to 25 days per month. However, the number of days you need to take this medication within each cycle will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual health condition.
Does 9FB SR 200 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking 9FB SR 200 Tablet may lead to weight gain. This can be attributed to fluid retention, and is generally not a serious sign. However, if you are experiencing significant weight gain that causes concern, please contact your doctor. The risk of weight gain is often lower when combined with estrogen as in a combined pill. It's essential to always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any hormonal therapy.
Is 9FB SR 200 Tablet safe?
Yes, 9FB SR 200 Tablet is considered safer than conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size helps facilitate more efficient absorption by the body and reduces potential side effects like fluid retention, decreased HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a vital hormone in fertility. It is secreted by the ovaries and plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining it. 9FB SR 200 Tablet (a micronized form of natural progesterone) is used in fertility treatments to support the uterus' preparation for pregnancy, and help prevent abortions in certain cases. It can also be utilized to prevent premature labor.
