Frequently asked questions
What is Luteum 200mg Tablet, and how does it work?
Luteum 200mg Tablet is a type of progesterone hormone that is extracted from plants but has properties similar to human progesterone. Through a process called micronization, the size of the natural progesterone particles is reduced, enhancing their dissolution and absorption in the body. This leads to better availability and decreased side effects.
What conditions are treated with Luteum 200mg Tablet?
This medication is used to treat various disorders in women, including secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for 3 months), support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders before menopause. It may also be used as part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause, and to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding.
How is Luteum 200mg Tablet typically taken?
It can be taken daily, usually prescribed once a day in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of prescription varies from 10-12 days a month to 25 days a month, depending on individual health conditions as advised by a doctor.
Does Luteum 200mg Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking this medication may lead to weight gain due to water retention. While generally not a serious concern, it's essential to consult with your doctor if weight gain is worrying you. The risk of weight gain can be lower when taken with estrogen as part of combined hormone therapy.
Is Luteum 200mg Tablet considered safe?
Yes, this medication is safer compared to synthetic progesterone due to its smaller size and better absorption in the body, leading to reduced side effects like fluid retention, reduction of HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
What benefits does progesterone have for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in fertility as it prepares the uterus for pregnancy and maintains it. Luteum 200mg Tablet (micronized form of progesterone) can be used to support the uterus, prevent abortions in some cases, and prevent premature labor.
