Frequently asked questions
What is Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule?

It undergoes micronization, reducing its particle size for improved dissolution and absorption within the body. This process enhances its bioavailability and potentially minimizes side effects.
What conditions does Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule treat?
Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is used to manage various medical concerns: it aids women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for at least three months) and supports pregnancy. It also helps prevent premature labor and treats bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It can be part of fertility treatments or hormonal therapy after menopause. Additionally, Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is used to alleviate premenstrual syndrome symptoms and manage painful periods like those with dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can I take Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?

Does Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule may lead to temporary weight gain. It is often caused by fluid retention and not a serious concern. If you experience significant or worrying weight changes, consult your doctor for guidance.
Is Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?

How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. Produced by the ovaries, it prepares the uterus for implantation of an embryo. Adygest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule, containing micronized natural progesterone, aids in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and preventing miscarriage.
