Ibigest 200mg Capsule contains a type of progesterone extracted from plants, mimicking the human progesterone's properties. The progesterone undergoes micronization to reduce particle size, enhancing dissolution and absorption for better bioavailability in the body. This helps minimize side effects.
What is Ibigest 200mg Capsule used to treat?
Ibigest 200mg Capsule is prescribed to address various conditions. It is used for women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation lasting three months or longer) and pregnancy support, preventing preterm labor, and treating bleeding disorders before menopause. Additionally, it may be used in fertility treatments and as a hormone replacement therapy after menopause.

Does Ibigest 200mg Capsule cause weight gain?

It also aids in preventing premature labor.
