Frequently asked questions
What is Pregcert 200 SR Tablet?
Pregcert 200 SR Tablet contains a plant-derived progesterone molecule that closely resembles the human hormone. This medicine undergoes micronization, reducing its particle size for better dissolution and absorption within the body. This process enhances the availability of Pregcert 200 SR Tablet to target cells and potentially reduces side effects.
What conditions does Pregcert 200 SR Tablet treat?
Pregcert 200 SR Tablet is prescribed for a variety of conditions, including: - Secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation) in women with past periods. - Supporting pregnancy to prevent preterm labor and addressing bleeding disorders preceding menopause. - Addressing fertility issues as part of fertility treatment. - Hormone replacement therapy after menopause to alleviate symptoms and address hormonal imbalances.
Can I take Pregcert 200 SR Tablet every day?
Yes, you can generally take Pregcert 200 SR Tablet daily. It is typically prescribed for once-daily use in the evening or bedtime. The specific duration of treatment (10 to 12 days per month to 25 days) will be determined by your healthcare provider based on individual needs and health conditions.
Does Pregcert 200 SR Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, some individuals may experience weight gain while taking Pregcert 200 SR Tablet. This can be due to water retention. It is important to monitor your weight and consult your doctor if you are concerned about any significant changes. However, utilizing the combined pill form with estrogen may help minimize this side effect.
Is Pregcert 200 SR Tablet safe?
Pregcert 200 SR Tablet has a generally favorable safety profile compared to synthetic progesterone, primarily due to its smaller particle size which aids in better absorption and reduced side effects like fluid retention, HDL cholesterol reduction, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is crucial for both fertility and pregnancy. In the female body, it's produced by the ovaries to prepare the uterus for potential implantation and sustain a pregnancy. Pregcert 200 SR Tablet (a natural micronized form of progesterone) helps support the preparation of the uterus for pregnancy, potentially reducing the risk of early abortion in certain cases, and also aids in preventing preterm labor during pregnancy.
