Frequently asked questions
What is Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule?
Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants, which has the same properties as human progesterone. It undergoes micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles, enhancing its dissolution and absorption in the body. This improves availability and decreases side effects.
What is Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule used to treat?
Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule treats various conditions. It's prescribed for women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months in women who have had periods). It aids pregnancy, prevents premature labor, and addresses bleeding disorders before menopause. It may be used as part of fertility treatment or hormone replacement therapy after menopause, and is also used to relieve premenstrual syndrome symptoms and painful bleeding like dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule every day?
Yes, Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule can be taken daily. It's typically prescribed to be taken once daily in the evening or at bedtime, with a duration of prescription varying from 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month. However, your doctor will recommend the specific number of days based on your health condition.
Does Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule may lead to weight gain. This could be due to water retention and is not necessarily a significant concern. However, it's crucial to contact your doctor if you experience excessive weight gain.
Is Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule safe?
Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule is safer compared to conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller size promotes easy absorption and reduces side effects such as fluid retention, reduction of HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a vital role in fertility. It's the hormone secreted by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and sustains it. Topgest 100 Softgel Capsule (natural micronized form of progesterone) is prescribed to women experiencing infertility, helping prepare the uterus for pregnancy and potentially preventing abortions in certain cases. It's also used to prevent premature labor.
