Frequently asked questions
What is Microgest SR 300 Tablet?
Microgest SR 300 Tablet contains a type of progesterone derived from plants, which closely mimics the human hormone's properties. It undergoes micronization, a process that reduces its particle size, enhancing dissolution and absorption for better bioavailability within the body and potentially reducing side effects.
What is Microgest SR 300 Tablet used to treat?
Microgest SR 300 Tablet is prescribed for various conditions. It can be utilized for women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation lasting three months or more), pregnancy support, preventing premature labor, and managing bleeding disorders before menopause. This medication may also play a role in fertility treatments and hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it is used to alleviate symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Microgest SR 300 Tablet daily?
Yes, Microgest SR 300 Tablet can be taken daily. It's typically prescribed to take once daily in the evening or bedtime. The duration of prescription may vary from 10-12 days a month to 25 days a month. However, your doctor will determine the specific number of days for you based on your individual health condition.
Does Microgest SR 300 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, some individuals taking Microgest SR 300 Tablet may experience temporary weight gain. This is often due to water retention and might not be a serious concern. However, if you are experiencing significant weight fluctuations, it's advisable to consult your doctor.
Is Microgest SR 300 Tablet safe?
Microgest SR 300 Tablet is generally considered safer compared to synthetic progesterone due to its smaller particle size. This helps with increased absorption and potentially reduces side effects such as fluid retention, HDL cholesterol reduction, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a vital hormone in both fertility and pregnancy. Secreted by the ovaries, it prepares the uterus for potential implantation of an embryo and helps maintain a healthy environment for gestation. Microgest SR 300 Tablet contains micronized plant-derived progesterone. It's used in cases of infertility to support uterine preparation for pregnancy and potentially reduce abortions in certain instances. Additionally, it is prescribed to prevent premature labor.
