Frequently asked questions
What is Dubagest SR 200 Tablet?

What is Dubagest SR 200 Tablet used for?
Dubagest SR 200 Tablet is prescribed for various conditions, including secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation lasting three months).

Does Dubagest SR 200 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Dubagest SR 200 Tablet may lead to weight gain. This can be attributed to fluid retention and is usually not a major concern.
