What is Estpro 200mg Tablet used to treat?
Estpro 200mg Tablet is prescribed for various conditions.

Does Estpro 200mg Tablet cause weight gain?

Is Estpro 200mg Tablet safe?
Estpro 200mg Tablet is considered safer than conventional synthetic progesterone because of its smaller particle size and improved absorption. This leads to reduced side effects like fluid retention, decreased HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It is the hormone produced by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for a potential pregnancy and maintains it during this period. Estpro 200mg Tablet (a natural micronized form of progesterone) is prescribed to support the uterus's preparation for a potential pregnancy, prevent abortions in some cases, and help to maintain the pregnancy itself.
