Frequently asked questions
What is Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants, whose properties closely match those of the human hormone. It undergoes micronization, a process that reduces the particle size of the progesterone. This enables better dissolution and absorption in the body, potentially leading to improved availability and reduced side effects.
What is Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule used for?
Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for various conditions. It is used in women with secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three consecutive months in those who previously experienced periods). It aids in pregnancy support, reduces the risk of premature labor, and addresses bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It can be part of fertility treatments or used as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. It also helps alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding associated with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?
Yes, Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule can be taken daily. It's usually prescribed once a day, typically in the evening or bedtime. The duration of treatment may vary from 10-12 days per cycle to 25 days per month. However, your doctor will determine the number of days you require to take this medicine based on your individual health condition.
Does Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule may lead to some weight gain. This is likely due to water retention. However, it's not necessarily a severe concern. Please consult your doctor if you are worried about the possibility of significant weight changes.
Is Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?
Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is generally considered safer than traditional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size aids in easier body absorption, potentially reducing side effects like fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches and mood disturbances.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a critical role in both fertility and pregnancy. It is produced by the ovaries and helps prepare the uterus for implantation and maintain pregnancy. Shegest 200mg Soft Gelatin Capsule (a natural micronized form of progesterone) may be prescribed to assist with uterine preparation for potential pregnancies or prevent abortions in certain cases.
