Frequently asked questions
What is Megpron 300mg Tablet SR?
Megpron 300mg Tablet SR is a type of progesterone, extracted from plants, that closely matches the human hormone. It undergoes micronization, reducing the size of naturally occurring progesterone molecules. This process enhances its dissolution and absorption, leading to better availability in the body and potentially fewer side effects.
What is Megpron 300mg Tablet SR used to treat?
Megpron 300mg Tablet SR is prescribed for a variety of conditions. It can be used to treat women with secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation after regular periods). It may also be used to support pregnancy, prevent preterm labor, and manage bleeding disorders that might occur before menopause. This medicine can be part of fertility treatments and given as hormone replacement therapy post-menopause. Additionally, it is helpful for relieving premenstrual syndrome symptoms and managing painful uterine bleeding.
Can I take Megpron 300mg Tablet SR every day?
Yes, Megpron 300mg Tablet SR can be taken daily. It is typically taken once a day in the evening or at bedtime.

Does Megpron 300mg Tablet SR cause weight gain?
Yes, Megpron 300mg Tablet SR may lead to some weight gain. This can be due to fluid retention, and it's generally not a major concern. However, if you notice significant weight increase, consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Is Megpron 300mg Tablet SR safe?

How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
