Frequently asked questions
What is Escot 200mg Tablet?
Escot 200mg Tablet is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants. Its properties closely resemble the human progesterone. It undergoes micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles. This process enhances its dissolution and absorption, improving availability within the body and minimizing side effects.
What conditions does Escot 200mg Tablet treat?
Escot 200mg Tablet is prescribed for various conditions. It's used to manage secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months in women who have previously experienced periods). It also aids pregnancy support, reduces premature labor risk, and treats bleeding disorders before menopause. It can be part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy post-menopause. Furthermore, it relieves premenstrual syndrome symptoms and tackles dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Escot 200mg Tablet every day?
Yes, you can take Escot 200mg Tablet daily. It is typically taken once per evening or bedtime. However, the duration of prescription may vary from a minimum of 10 to 12 days per cycle to up to 25 days. Your doctor will determine the precise number of days for your specific needs based on your health condition.
Does Escot 200mg Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Escot 200mg Tablet may lead to weight gain. This potential weight gain might be due to water retention. It's important to consult your doctor if you experience significant weight gain as it may be a sign of other medical conditions.
Is Escot 200mg Tablet safe?
Escot 200mg Tablet is considered safer than conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size facilitates better absorption within the body, minimizing side effects such as fluid retention, reduction in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a crucial hormone for both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced naturally by the ovaries and prepares the uterus for implantation and helps maintain it throughout gestation. Escot 200mg Tablet (a micronized form of progesterone) is often prescribed in cases of infertility to support uterine preparation for pregnancy and prevent abortions in certain circumstances. It also aids in preventing premature labor.
