Product Description
Progesterone sustained-release (SR) 200 mg is a medication containing the natural female hormone progesterone, formulated for gradual release into the body. This sustained-release mechanism helps maintain stable hormone levels over a longer period.
Uses:
Progesterone SR 200 mg is primarily used in women for:
- Female Infertility and Luteal Phase Support: It is prescribed to support the luteal phase (the latter half of the menstrual cycle) during fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or in cases of luteal phase deficiency, where the body doesn't produce enough natural progesterone to support a potential pregnancy. It helps prepare and maintain the uterine lining (endometrium) for implantation of a fertilized egg and supports early pregnancy.
- Prevention of Miscarriage: In some cases, it's used to help maintain pregnancy in women with a history of recurrent miscarriages or those at higher risk of preterm labor.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Often prescribed in combination with estrogen for women undergoing HRT, especially those who still have their uterus. Progesterone helps prevent endometrial hyperplasia (abnormal thickening of the uterine lining) that can occur with estrogen-only therapy, reducing the risk of uterine cancer.
- Menstrual Disorders: It can be used to treat menstrual problems caused by hormonal imbalance, such as:
- Amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods): To induce menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone.
- Abnormal uterine bleeding: To regulate irregular bleeding.
