Frequently asked questions
What is Greygest 200mg Capsule?
Greygest 200mg Capsule contains progesterone extracted from plants, which has properties similar to the human hormone. It undergoes a process called micronization, reducing its particle size for improved absorption and dissolution in the body. This facilitates better availability of Greygest 200mg Capsule and potentially minimizes side effects.
What is Greygest 200mg Capsule used to treat?
Greygest 200mg Capsule is prescribed for various conditions. It treats secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for three months in women with a history of regular cycles), supports pregnancy, prevents premature labor, and alleviates bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It may be used in fertility treatments and post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy as needed.
Can I take Greygest 200mg Capsule daily?
Yes, Greygest 200mg Capsule can be taken daily. It's typically taken once daily in the evening or bedtime. The prescribed duration of use can vary between 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month, based on your doctor's recommendations.
Does Greygest 200mg Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, using Greygest 200mg Capsule might lead to weight gain. It may be due to fluid retention and is not necessarily a serious concern. However, if you experience significant changes in your weight, please consult your doctor.
Is Greygest 200mg Capsule safe?
Greygest 200mg Capsule is generally considered safer compared to synthetic progesterone, as its micronized form facilitates easier absorption and potentially minimizes side effects such as fluid retention, HDL cholesterol reduction, 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. Greygest 200mg Capsule (natural micronized progesterone) is used to support the uterus before pregnancy, prevent abortions in some cases, and prevent premature labor.
