This medication undergoes a process called micronization, which reduces the particle size of the natural progesterone. The smaller particles enhance its dissolution and absorption within the body.
What is Pregahelp-SR 300 Tablet used for?
Pregahelp-SR 300 Tablet is prescribed to address various conditions, including: * **Secondary Amenorrhea:** Women experiencing amenorrhea (no menstruation) for three or more consecutive months. * **Pregnancy Support:** Assists with pregnancy maintenance and prevention of preterm labor. * **Menstrual Disorders:** Treats disorders such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding that may precede menopause. It is often incorporated into fertility treatment and used in hormone replacement therapy after menopause. * **Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS):** Relieves symptoms associated with PMS.
