Frequently asked questions
What is Hald SR 400 Tablet?
Hald SR 400 Tablet contains a form of progesterone extracted from plants, which has similar properties to the human hormone. This medication undergoes micronization, a process that reduces the size of the natural progesterone particles for increased dissolution and absorption. This improves its availability within the body and minimizes side effects.
What is Hald SR 400 Tablet used to treat?
Hald SR 400 Tablet is prescribed to treat various conditions, including: * Secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation for three months in women with a history of regular periods) * Pregnancy support * Premature labor prevention * Bleeding disorders before menopause * Hormone replacement therapy after menopause * Relief of premenstrual syndrome symptoms * Management of painful bleeding, such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Hald SR 400 Tablet every day?
Yes, Hald SR 400 Tablet can be taken daily. It is usually prescribed to be taken once daily in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of treatment may vary from 10-12 days per cycle to 25 days per month. However, the specific number of days for your treatment will be determined by your doctor based on your individual health condition.
Does Hald SR 400 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Hald SR 400 Tablet may cause temporary weight gain. This could be due to water retention and is not a serious sign. However, it's important to contact your doctor if you experience significant weight changes. The risk of weight gain is generally less when combined with estrogen in the form of a combined pill. However, always consult your doctor before starting any hormonal therapy.
Is Hald SR 400 Tablet safe?
Hald SR 400 Tablet is considered safer compared to synthetic progesterone. The smaller particle size enhances body absorption and minimizes side effects such as fluid retention, low HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is vital for both fertility and pregnancy. It's the hormone produced by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for a potential pregnancy and maintains its environment once implantation occurs. Hald SR 400 Tablet provides a naturally micronized form of progesterone, which assists in uterine preparation before pregnancy and can help prevent abortions in some cases. Additionally, it helps prevent premature labor.
