Frequently asked questions
What is Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule?

This process reduces the size of the naturally occurring progesterone molecules, improving their dissolution and absorption within the body. It helps to enhance availability of the medication.
What conditions is Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule used for?
Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule can be prescribed for a variety of conditions, including: secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months in women who previously had periods), pregnancy support, premature labor prevention, and treatment of bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It is also used as part of fertility treatment and hormone replacement therapy after menopause.

Can Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule be taken daily?
Yes, Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule can be taken daily. It is generally prescribed once per day in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of prescription may vary from 10-12 days a month to 25 days a month. Your doctor will determine the appropriate number of days based on your health condition.
Does Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule might result in weight gain. This could be due to fluid retention and may not require medical intervention. However, if you are concerned about this change, it is best to consult your doctor. The risk of weight gain is typically lower when combined with estrogen as a combined pill.
Is Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule safe?
Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule is generally considered safer compared to synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size facilitates easier absorption and can minimize side effects like fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbance.
What are the benefits of progesterone for fertility and pregnancy?

In women, it helps prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy by supporting uterine function and creating an environment conducive to implantation. Onxygest 200 Softgel Capsule (a natural micronized form of progesterone) is used as medication in cases of infertility to prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy. It can also prevent abortions in some instances.
