Frequently asked questions
What is Cygest 200mg Capsule?
Cygest 200mg Capsule contains a form of progesterone extracted from plants, designed with similar properties to the human hormone. Micronization reduces the particle size of this natural progesterone, increasing its dissolution and absorption within the body. This allows for improved availability and potentially fewer side effects compared to larger progesterone particles.
What is Cygest 200mg Capsule used for?
Cygest 200mg Capsule is prescribed for various conditions, including: - Women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months after starting periods). - Supporting pregnancy. - Preventing preterm labor. - Addressing bleeding disorders before menopause. - Fertility treatments and hormone replacement therapy after menopause. - Relieving symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful irregular bleeding such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Cygest 200mg Capsule every day?
Yes, Cygest 200mg Capsule can be taken daily. It's usually prescribed once a day in the evening or bedtime. The duration of treatment varies depending on your individual needs and may range from 10-12 days per cycle to 25 days per month. Your doctor will provide specific guidance based on your personal health condition.
Does Cygest 200mg Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, using Cygest 200mg Capsule may lead to temporary weight gain. This could be due to water retention and not necessarily a sign of concern. If you experience significant weight gain, please consult your doctor as they can advise.
Is Cygest 200mg Capsule safe?
Cygest 200mg Capsule is considered safer compared to conventional synthetic progesterone due to its micronized form. This allows for better body absorption and potentially fewer side effects such as fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a vital role in both fertility and pregnancy. It is produced by the ovaries and helps prepare the uterus for implantation and maintains it during pregnancy. Cygest 200mg Capsule (micronized progesterone) provides a therapeutic dose for supporting uterine function, preventing abortions in certain cases, and mitigating preterm labor.
