Frequently asked questions
What is Techgest 200mg Tablet?
Techgest 200mg Tablet is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants. Its structure closely matches the human progesterone molecule, but the size of the progesterone molecules has been reduced through a process called micronization. This smaller particle size enhances its dissolution and absorption, leading to improved bioavailability within the body and potentially fewer side effects.
What is Techgest 200mg Tablet used to treat?
Techgest 200mg Tablet is used to address various conditions. It is prescribed for women with secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three consecutive months) and can be utilized to support pregnancy, prevent preterm labor, and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause.
