Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It is the hormone secreted by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for a potential pregnancy and helps maintain it once established. Merigest 100mg Capsule (containing progesterone) is used in cases of infertility to assist the uterus in preparing itself for pregnancy and may help prevent miscarriage or abortion in some instances. It also aids in preventing premature labor.
