Frequently asked questions
What is Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone, extracted from plants, with properties that closely resemble human progesterone. It undergoes a process called micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles. This smaller particle size enhances its dissolution and absorption within the body, providing better availability of Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule and potentially decreasing side effects.
What is Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule used to treat?
Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for various conditions, including secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months in women who have had periods before). It aids pregnancy support, prevents premature labor, and addresses bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It can be used in fertility treatments and as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule may also help relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and painful bleeding like dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?

Does Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Uterone 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule may lead to weight gain. This weight gain can be attributed to fluid retention. While not necessarily a serious sign, it is advisable to contact your doctor if you experience any significant concerns regarding this.

How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?

It can also be used to prevent premature labor.
