Frequently asked questions
What is Corgest 100mg Tablet?
Corgest 100mg Tablet contains a naturally extracted progesterone hormone that closely resembles the human hormone. It undergoes micronization, which reduces the size of the natural progesterone particles, leading to increased dissolution and absorption within the body. This enhanced availability decreases side effects.
What is Corgest 100mg Tablet used for?
Corgest 100mg Tablet treats various conditions. It's used to treat women with secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months), support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and manage bleeding disorders related to menopause. Additionally, it can be part of fertility treatments and used as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Notably, it also helps alleviate premenstrual syndrome symptoms and painful periods (dysfunctional uterine bleeding).
Can I take Corgest 100mg Tablet every day?

Does Corgest 100mg Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Corgest 100mg Tablet can lead to weight gain. This might be due to water retention. However, it's usually not a significant concern. If you experience notable weight gain that worries you, consult your doctor.
Is Corgest 100mg Tablet safe?
Corgest 100mg Tablet is considered safer than synthetic progesterone due to its smaller particle size. This increased bioavailability reduces side effects such as fluid retention, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood changes.

It also prevents premature labor.
