Frequently asked questions
What is HP 100mg Tablet?
HP 100mg Tablet is a type of progesterone hormone, derived from plants, that closely resembles the human version. This medication undergoes micronization, where the size of the natural progesterone particles is reduced. This process enhances its dissolution and absorption, improving availability in the body and potentially reducing side effects.
What is HP 100mg Tablet used to treat?
HP 100mg Tablet is prescribed for a range of conditions. It is used to treat secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation lasting three months in women who have previously had periods). It aids pregnancy support, prevents premature labor, and treats bleeding disorders occurring before menopause. It may be employed in fertility treatment or as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it provides relief for symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding like dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take HP 100mg Tablet daily?
Yes, HP 100mg Tablet can be taken daily. It is usually prescribed to be taken once daily in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of prescription may vary, from 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month. However, your doctor will determine the exact number of days required for each cycle based on your specific health condition.
Does HP 100mg Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking HP 100mg Tablet may result in temporary weight gain. This is possibly due to fluid retention and does not necessarily signal a serious problem. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor if you experience significant weight fluctuations that worry you.
Is HP 100mg Tablet safe?
HP 100mg Tablet exhibits a greater level of safety compared to conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller size facilitates smoother absorption by the body, potentially reducing side effects like fluid retention, HDL cholesterol reduction, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It acts as an essential hormone secreted by the ovaries, preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining it. HP 100mg Tablet (a natural micronized form of progesterone) is used in fertility treatment to support the uterus's preparation for potential pregnancy and to prevent abortions in certain cases. It also aids in preventing premature labor.
