Frequently asked questions
What is Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR?
Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR is a micronized form of progesterone extracted from plants. This type of progesterone closely matches the human hormone's structure and properties. The smaller size of these particles enhances their dissolution and absorption in the body, leading to better availability and reduced side effects.
What is Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR used for?
Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR is prescribed to treat various conditions. It is commonly used in women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months after experiencing regular menstrual cycles). It can also support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and manage bleeding disorders before menopause. It may be used as part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it's used to relieve premenstrual syndrome symptoms and painful periods, such as those associated with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR every day?
Yes, Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR can be taken daily. It is typically prescribed once a day in the evening or bedtime. The duration of treatment may vary between 10-12 days per month and even up to 25 days, depending on individual needs. Your doctor will determine the suitable dosage and frequency based on your specific health condition.
Does Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR may result in weight gain. This is potentially due to water retention and may not be significant. It's important to inform your doctor if you notice any concerning weight changes. Weight gain risk can be minimized when combined with estrogen as part of a combined pill therapy. However, remember to consult your doctor before initiating any hormonal therapy.
Is Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR safe?
Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR is considered safer than traditional synthetic progesterone due to its smaller particle size and reduced side effects, such as 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's the hormone secreted by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for implantation and maintains it throughout pregnancy. Evolgest 300mg Tablet SR, a micronized form of progesterone, is used to support uterine preparation for pregnancy and can help prevent abortions in certain cases. It also helps prevent premature labor.
