Frequently asked questions
What is Pregril 400mg Tablet SR, and how does it work?

The micronization process reduces the size of natural progesterone particles, enhancing its dissolution and absorption in the body, which provides better availability and reduces side effects.
What conditions does Pregril 400mg Tablet SR treat?
Pregril 400mg Tablet SR is used to treat various disorders, including secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for three months in women who have had their menses before), support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause.
