This specific micronization process reduces the size of the progesterone particles, enhancing their dissolution and absorption in the body. This enhanced bioavailability leads to less side effects.

Mcgest 200mg Capsule is prescribed for various conditions, including: * Secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for 3 months in women with a history of regular menstrual cycles). * Supporting pregnancy. * Preventing premature labor. * Treatment of bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. * Part of fertility treatment and hormone replacement therapy after menopause. * Relieving symptoms related to premenstrual syndrome and heavy menstrual flow, such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Does Mcgest 200mg Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Mcgest 200mg Capsule may lead to water retention and potentially contribute to weight gain. However, this usually isn't a major concern.

Mcgest 200mg Capsule, as a micronized form of natural progesterone, is used in various fertility cases to support uterine preparation and prevent early abortions. It also plays a vital role in preventing premature labor.
