Frequently asked questions
What is Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule?
Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone extracted from plants. It has properties that match the human progesterone hormone. This medication undergoes micronization, which reduces the size of natural progesterone particles. The smaller size enhances its dissolution and absorption within the body, increasing its availability and potentially decreasing side effects.
What is Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule used to treat?
Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule is prescribed for various conditions. It's used to address secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation in women who have experienced periods before), support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It can also be part of fertility treatment or used as hormone replacement therapy after menopause, aiming to alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding like dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule every day?
Yes, Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule can be taken daily. It's typically prescribed to be taken once a day 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 based on your individual health condition.
Does Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule may lead to weight gain. This might be due to water retention and is not necessarily a serious concern. However, if you're experiencing significant weight gain, it's essential to contact your doctor for guidance.
Is Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule safe?
Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule is generally considered safer than conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller size facilitates easier absorption and reduces potential side effects, such as fluid retention, decreased HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's the hormone secreted by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for potential implantation of an embryo and helps maintain it. Lutalife 100 Softgel Capsule (a natural micronized form of progesterone) is often prescribed to address infertility issues by supporting uterine preparation for pregnancy and potentially preventing abortions in some cases. It can also be used to prevent premature labor.
