Frequently asked questions
What is Pregahelp 200 Capsule?
Pregahelp 200 Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone extracted from plants, but its properties closely match those of human progesterone. This medicine undergoes a process called micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles for improved dissolution and absorption. This enhances its availability in the body and potentially reduces side effects.
What is Pregahelp 200 Capsule used for?
Pregahelp 200 Capsule is prescribed to treat various conditions, including secondary amenorrhea (inability to menstruate for three months in women who have had menstrual cycles before) and its use is supported by scientific evidence. It helps with pregnancy support, preterm labor prevention, and treatment of bleeding disorders before menopause. Pregahelp 200 Capsule can also be used as part of fertility treatments and hormone replacement therapy after menopause to address symptoms like premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and painful menstruation related to dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Pregahelp 200 Capsule every day?
Yes, Pregahelp 200 Capsule can be taken daily. It is usually prescribed to be taken once daily in the evening or at bedtime. However, the specific duration for medication use may vary from 10-12 days a month to 25 days per month. Your doctor will advise on your specific dosage based on your individual health condition.
Does Pregahelp 200 Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Pregahelp 200 Capsule may lead to some weight gain. This is primarily attributed to water retention. However, if you are experiencing significant weight gain that concerns you, it's important to consult your doctor immediately. The risk of side effects like fluid retention and reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances is generally lower when combined with estrogen as a combined pill.
Is Pregahelp 200 Capsule safe?
Pregahelp 200 Capsule is considered safer than conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size facilitates efficient absorption, minimizing side effects like fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. Produced by the ovaries, it prepares the uterus for successful implantation of a fertilized egg and maintains its state for nurturing a growing fetus during pregnancy. Pregahelp 200 Capsule, a natural micronized form of progesterone, is used in cases of infertility to support uterine preparation for potential pregnancies and prevent abortions in some situations.
