Frequently asked questions
What is Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule contains a type of progesterone extracted from plants, specifically designed to match the properties of human progesterone. A micronization process reduces the size of natural progesterone molecules, leading to enhanced dissolution and absorption within the body. This improved bioavailability results in better medication effectiveness and reduced side effects.
What conditions does Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule treat?
Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for a range of conditions including: Secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation lasting three months in women who previously experienced it), to support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders before menopause. It may be used as part of fertility treatment and hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it can relieve symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome and painful menstrual periods such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?
Yes, Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule can be taken daily. It is typically prescribed once daily in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of prescription may vary from 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month. However, your doctor will determine specific dosage and frequency based on your individual health needs.
Does Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule can lead to some weight gain. This may be due to water retention. While it is generally manageable, if you are concerned about any significant weight changes, consult your doctor.
Is Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?
Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is considered safer compared to synthetic progesterone due to its micronized form. This reduced size promotes more efficient absorption in the body, potentially minimizing side effects like fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbance.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a crucial hormone for both fertility and pregnancy. It's secreted by the ovaries to prepare the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg and maintain it. Remens 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule (natural micronized form of progesterone) is prescribed in cases of infertility to help the uterus become receptive to a potential pregnancy, and prevent abortions in some cases. It is also used to prevent preterm labor.
