Frequently asked questions
What is Miprogen 400 Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Miprogen 400 Soft Gelatin Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone extracted from plants, which has properties similar to the human hormone. This medicine undergoes a process called micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles. The smaller size increases dissolution and absorption, leading to better availability in the body and reduced side effects.
What is Miprogen 400 Soft Gelatin Capsule used for?
Miprogen 400 Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for various conditions. It helps women with secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for three months in women who have experienced periods before). It can support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause.
