Frequently asked questions
What is Profine SR 300 Tablet?
Profine SR 300 Tablet contains micronized progesterone, a plant-derived hormone that closely resembles the human hormone. This medication undergoes a process called micronization, which reduces the particle size of natural progesterone for enhanced dissolution and absorption in the body.
What is Profine SR 300 Tablet used to treat?
Profine SR 300 Tablet is prescribed for a variety of conditions. It helps women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation for three months in those with previous menstrual cycles) and supports pregnancy by preventing premature labor, treating bleeding disorders related to pre-menopause. It can also be used as part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause, to relieve symptoms like premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding associated with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Profine SR 300 Tablet daily?
Yes, Profine SR 300 Tablet can be taken daily. It is usually taken once a day in the evening or at bedtime, with the duration of prescription varying from 10 to 12 days per month to 25 days per month. However, your doctor will determine the exact number of days based on your specific health condition.
Does Profine SR 300 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Profine SR 300 Tablet can lead to weight gain. This may be due to water retention and is not necessarily a sign of concern. However, if you experience significant weight gain, it's essential to consult your doctor.
Is Profine SR 300 Tablet safe?
Profine SR 300 Tablet is considered safer compared to traditional synthetic progesterone due to its smaller particle size and enhanced absorption, leading to fewer side effects such as fluid retention, reduction in HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances. Combining it with estrogen as a combined pill may further reduce the risk of weight gain.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a vital role in fertility by preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining its health. Profine SR 300 Tablet (a naturally micronized form of progesterone) is administered as medication in cases of infertility to help the uterus prepare for a potential pregnancy. It also helps prevent abortions in some cases. Furthermore, it is used to prevent premature labor.
