Frequently asked questions
What is P-Gexa Tablet SR?
P-Gexa Tablet SR contains micronized natural progesterone, a hormone naturally found in the body and closely resembling human progesterone. This medication undergoes a process called micronization, which reduces the size of the progesterone particles, enhancing its dissolution and absorption within the body. This improved bioavailability allows for better availability of P-Gexa Tablet SR.
What is P-Gexa Tablet SR used to treat?
P-Gexa Tablet SR is prescribed to address various conditions. It's commonly used in women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months or more after having periods in the past). It can also support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and manage bleeding disorders before menopause. Furthermore, it may be utilized as part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause to alleviate symptoms like premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding associated with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take P-Gexa Tablet SR every day?
Yes, P-Gexa Tablet SR can be taken daily. It's usually prescribed to be taken once a day in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of treatment may vary based on individual needs; however, your doctor will recommend the appropriate number of days for you.
Does P-Gexa Tablet SR cause weight gain?
Yes, there's a possibility of experiencing some weight gain when taking P-Gexa Tablet SR. This weight gain may be due to fluid retention and is not necessarily a cause for concern. However, it's important to consult your doctor if you experience significant weight changes.
Is P-Gexa Tablet SR safe?
P-Gexa Tablet SR is considered safer than conventional synthetic progesterone due to its smaller particle size, which enhances absorption within the body. This improved bioavailability reduces side effects like fluid retention, changes in HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced by the ovaries and acts as a key hormone for preparing the uterus for potential pregnancy. P-Gexa Tablet SR, which is a micronized form of natural progesterone, is commonly prescribed to support uterine preparation for pregnancy and can help prevent abortions in some cases. It also serves to prevent premature labor.
