Frequently asked questions
What is Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule, and how does it work?
Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone that is extracted from plants but has properties similar to human progesterone. The micronization process reduces the size of natural progesterone particles, enhancing its dissolution and absorption in the body, which provides better availability and decreases side effects.
What conditions does Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule treat?
Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule is used to treat various disorders, including secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for 3 months), support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It may also be used as part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause.
How should I take Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule?
Yes, Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule can be taken daily. The usual prescription duration may vary from 10-12 days a month to 25 days a month, depending on your doctor's recommendation based on your health condition.
Can taking Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule may lead to weight gain due to water retention. However, this is generally not a serious concern and can be lessened when taken with estrogen as a combined pill. Consult your doctor if you are worried about weight gain.
Is Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule safe?
Yes, Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule is considered safer compared to the normal synthetic progesterone due to its smaller size, which enhances absorption and reduces side effects like fluid retention, reduction of HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbance.

Microgest 100mg Softgel Capsule (natural micronized form of progesterone) is used as medication to support the uterus in preparing itself for pregnancy, prevent abortions, and prevent premature labor.
