Frequently asked questions
What is Gestnx 200mg Tablet SR?

What are the uses of Gestnx 200mg Tablet SR?
Gestnx 200mg Tablet SR is used to treat various disorders, including secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for 3 months in women who have had their menses before), supporting pregnancy, preventing premature labor, and treating bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause.

Does Gestnx 200mg Tablet SR cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Gestnx 200mg Tablet SR may lead to weight gain due to water retention. However, this is generally not a serious concern and should be discussed with a doctor if it becomes worrying. The risk of weight gain is lower when taken with estrogen as part of a combined pill.
Is Gestnx 200mg Tablet SR safe?
