Frequently asked questions
What is Pregcert 200 Capsule?
Pregcert 200 Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone that is extracted from plants, but its properties match those of human progesterone. This medicine undergoes a process called micronization, which reduces the size of natural progesterone particles, enhancing its dissolution and absorption, and providing better availability in the body while decreasing side effects.
What is Pregcert 200 Capsule used to treat?
Pregcert 200 Capsule is used to treat various disorders. It is given to women with secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for three months in women who have had their menses before). It supports pregnancy, prevents premature labor, and treats bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It may be used as part of fertility treatment and hormone replacement therapy after menopause. It also relieves symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding like dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can you take Pregcert 200 Capsule every day?
Yes, Pregcert 200 Capsule can be taken daily, usually prescribed once in the evening or at bedtime. The usual duration of prescription may vary from 10-12 days a month to 25 days a month, depending on individual health conditions as suggested by your doctor.
Does Pregcert 200 Capsule cause weight gain?
Taking Pregcert 200 Capsule may lead to weight gain due to water retention, which is generally not a serious sign. However, if you are concerned about weight gain, contact your doctor. The risk of weight gain is generally lower when Pregcert 200 Capsule is taken with estrogen as a combined pill. Consult your doctor before starting any hormonal therapy.
Is Pregcert 200 Capsule safe?
Yes, Pregcert 200 Capsule is safer compared to the normal synthetic progesterone. Its smaller size helps the body absorb it easily and reduces side effects like fluid retention, reduction of HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbance.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a crucial hormone in fertility that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and maintains it. Pregcert 200 Capsule (natural micronized form of progesterone) supports the uterus in preparing itself for pregnancy and preventing abortions in some cases. It also prevents premature labor.
