What is Dubagest SR 400 Tablet used to treat?
Dubagest SR 400 Tablet is prescribed for several conditions. It is primarily used for women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation for three months or more) who have had regular periods previously. The medication may be used during pregnancy, to prevent premature labor, and to treat bleeding disorders that can occur before menopause.

Can I take Dubagest SR 400 Tablet daily?

Does Dubagest SR 400 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, there is a potential for weight gain when taking Dubagest SR 400 Tablet. This may be due to water retention and is generally not considered a serious concern. However, it's advisable to inform your doctor if you are experiencing significant or unusual weight fluctuations.
Is Dubagest SR 400 Tablet safe?
Dubagest SR 400 Tablet is considered safer compared to conventional synthetic progesterone. Its micronized form allows for easier body absorption, potentially reducing side effects like fluid retention, low 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 naturally produced by the ovaries and prepares the uterus for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. Dubagest SR 400 Tablet (a micronized form of natural progesterone) helps the body prepare the uterus by reducing inflammation, and to prevent miscarriage. It is also used as hormone replacement therapy after menopause.
