Progesterone (Natural Micronized) (200mg)

Overview Gesto 200mg Capsule

Progesterone, the active component in Gesto 200mg Capsules (200mg), is a naturally occurring female hormone. This medication addresses menstrual irregularities and pregnancy-associated complications stemming from hormonal fluctuations. Often prescribed alongside estrogen in hormone replacement therapy, Gesto 200mg Capsules help prevent endometrial hyperplasia (uterine lining thickening). For optimal absorption, take with food at the same time daily, continuing as directed by your physician, even if feeling well. Common side effects, often subsiding after the initial weeks, include headaches, breast tenderness, irregular bleeding or spotting, abdominal discomfort, bloating, nausea, vomiting, hair thinning, swelling, and vaginal yeast infections. Intermenstrual bleeding should be discussed with your doctor if recurring. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of breast cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or liver problems. Regular womb examinations are typical during treatment. Inform your doctor of all other medications you're using due to potential interactions. Alcohol and tobacco use should generally be avoided.
