Progesterone (Natural Micronized) (200mg)

Overview Duragest 200mg Capsule

Progesterone, the active component in Duragest 200mg Capsules, is a naturally occurring female hormone. This medication addresses menstrual irregularities and pregnancy-associated problems stemming from hormonal fluctuations. It's also frequently combined with estrogen in hormone replacement therapy to prevent endometrial hyperplasia (uterine lining thickening). Administer this capsule with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal efficacy. Continue treatment as directed by your physician, regardless of symptom improvement. Commonly reported side effects include headaches, breast tenderness, abnormal vaginal bleeding or spotting, abdominal discomfort, bloating, nausea and vomiting, hair thinning, swelling, and vaginal yeast infections. These side effects often subside after the initial weeks of therapy. Intermenstrual bleeding or spotting may occur; seek medical advice if persistent. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of breast cancer, unusual vaginal bleeding, or liver disease. Regular uterine assessments will likely be part of your treatment plan. Finally, ensure your doctor is aware of all other medications you are currently using, as interactions are possible. Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking are generally recommended.
