Frequently asked questions
What is Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule contains plant-derived progesterone that closely mimics the human hormone. Its micronization process reduces the size of the progesterone particles, enhancing its dissolution and absorption within the body. This leads to better bioavailability and reduced side effects.
What is Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule used for?
Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for several conditions, including: - Secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation lasting for three months in women who have had periods before). - Supporting pregnancy to prevent premature labor. - Treating bleeding disorders preceding menopause. - Utilizing it as part of fertility treatment. - Providing hormone replacement therapy after menopause, relieving premenstrual syndrome symptoms, and managing painful bleeding from dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule daily?
Yes, Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule can be taken daily. It is typically prescribed once a day in the evening or bedtime. The duration of this treatment may vary between 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month, but your doctor will advise you on the appropriate cycle length based on your individual health condition.
Does Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule may lead to weight gain. This is partly due to fluid retention and may not be a serious concern. However, if you are concerned about this side effect, it's crucial to consult your doctor. Combining Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule with estrogen as part of combined pills generally decreases the risk of weight gain. Remember, it is essential to consult your doctor before starting any hormonal therapy.
Is Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?
Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is generally considered safer compared to conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size facilitates easy absorption by the body, which reduces side effects like fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is vital for both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced by the ovaries and helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy and maintain it throughout gestation. Fibogest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule (natural, micronized progesterone) is often prescribed to support uterine preparation for pregnancy, prevent miscarriages, and even reduce premature labor risk.
