Frequently asked questions
What is Prolin 300 SR Tablet?
Prolin 300 SR Tablet is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants, with properties similar to the human hormone. It undergoes micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles for improved dissolution and absorption in the body. This enhances its availability and minimizes side effects.
What is Prolin 300 SR Tablet used for?
Prolin 300 SR Tablet is used to treat various conditions, including secondary amenorrhea (irregular periods) in women. It can support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and manage bleeding disorders before menopause. It may also be used for fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause, as well as for relieving premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea (painful periods).
Can I take Prolin 300 SR Tablet daily?
Yes, Prolin 300 SR Tablet can be taken daily. It is typically prescribed once daily in the evening or at bedtime. However, the duration of use varies between 10-12 days per cycle to 25 days per month. The specific number of days for your prescription will be determined by your doctor based on your individual health status.
Does Prolin 300 SR Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Prolin 300 SR Tablet can lead to weight gain. This is often due to fluid retention, and it may not be serious. However, if you are concerned about significant weight changes, please inform your doctor immediately.
Is Prolin 300 SR Tablet safe?
Prolin 300 SR Tablet is generally considered safer than synthetic progesterone due to its smaller particle size, which facilitates easier absorption and reduced side effects such as fluid retention, lowered HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances. Combining Prolin 300 SR Tablet with estrogen in a combined pill may further minimize these risks.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced by the ovaries, helping prepare the uterus for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. Prolin 300 SR Tablet (micronized plant-derived progesterone) is used as a medicine in infertility cases to support the uterus's preparation for pregnancy, while also preventing early abortions in certain situations. It can also be used to prevent premature labor.
