Frequently asked questions
What is Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule contains plant-derived progesterone, which has properties similar to human progesterone. It undergoes a process called micronization to reduce the particle size of progesterone. This smaller size enhances dissolution and absorption, leading to better availability in the body and potentially reducing side effects.
What conditions is Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule used for?
Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for various disorders. It's used to treat secondary amenorrhea (missing menstruation for three months in women with previous periods). It can support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders before menopause. It may also be used as part of fertility treatment or for hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it can alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding, such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?
Yes, you may take Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule daily. It's typically prescribed to be taken once a day in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of prescription can vary between 10-12 days per month and 25 days per month, but your doctor will determine the specific length based on your individual health condition.
Does Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule may cause weight gain. This can be due to water retention, and it's not necessarily a serious concern. However, if you experience significant weight gain that worries you, consult your doctor. It's worth noting that the risk of weight gain is generally lower when taken with estrogen as part of a combined pill, but again, always seek guidance from your healthcare provider before starting any hormonal therapy.
Is Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?
Yes, Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is considered safer compared to traditional synthetic progesterone. The smaller particle size aids in easy absorption and reduces side effects such as fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced by the ovaries and prepares the uterus for potential implantation of a fertilized egg and maintains the pregnancy if one occurs. Blugest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule, which contains plant-derived micronized progesterone, is prescribed to support uterine preparation for pregnancy, prevent abortions, and even prevent premature labor.
