Frequently asked questions
What is Savgest 200 SR Tablet?
Savgest 200 SR Tablet contains plant-derived progesterone that closely matches human progesterone. It undergoes a process called micronization, which reduces the size of the natural progesterone particles. This makes it easier for the body to absorb and dissolve, leading to better availability in the body and reduced side effects.
What is Savgest 200 SR Tablet used to treat?
Savgest 200 SR Tablet is prescribed for various conditions. It's commonly used in women with secondary amenorrhea (missing menstruation for 3 months). It also helps support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders before menopause. It may be part of fertility treatments or used as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Additionally, it helps relieve premenstrual syndrome symptoms and painful bleeding like dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Savgest 200 SR Tablet every day?
Yes, Savgest 200 SR Tablet can be taken daily. It is typically prescribed once a day in the evening or before bedtime. The duration of treatment can vary from 10-12 days per cycle to 25 days per month. However, the exact number of days for your specific prescription will be determined by your doctor based on your individual health condition.
Does Savgest 200 SR Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Savgest 200 SR Tablet can cause temporary weight gain. This could be due to water retention. However, if you're experiencing significant weight gain, it's important to discuss this with your doctor. Combining Savgest 200 SR Tablet with estrogen as a combined pill may reduce the risk of weight gain.
Is Savgest 200 SR Tablet safe?
Savgest 200 SR Tablet is considered safer compared to conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size enables easy body absorption and reduces side effects such as fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a crucial hormone in both fertility and pregnancy. It's produced naturally by the ovaries to prepare the uterus for implantation and maintain it during pregnancy. Savgest 200 SR Tablet (natural micronized progesterone) is used in cases of infertility to help the uterine lining thicken and become receptive to a fertilized egg, thereby preventing miscarriage and promoting successful pregnancies. Additionally, it's used to prevent premature labor.
