What is Lupigest 100 Capsule?
Lupigest 100 Capsule is a micronized progesterone hormone product, which is derived from plants and has properties that match human progesterone. The micronization process reduces the particle size of natural progesterone, enhancing its dissolution and absorption in the body, thus providing better bioavailability and minimizing side effects.
What conditions are treated with Lupigest 100 Capsule?
Lupigest 100 Capsule is prescribed to treat various gynecological disorders, including secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstruation for three months or more in women who have previously experienced menstrual cycles), support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and manage bleeding disorders that occur before menopause. It may also be used as part of fertility treatment and hormone replacement therapy after menopause to alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
How should Lupigest 100 Capsule be taken?
Lupigest 100 Capsule is usually administered once daily, either in the evening or at bedtime. The duration of treatment may vary from 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month, depending on individual health conditions and as recommended by a healthcare provider.
Does Lupigest 100 Capsule cause weight gain?
Weight gain is a potential side effect associated with the use of Lupigest 100 Capsule. This may be due to water retention; however, if significant weight gain becomes concerning, it is essential to consult a doctor. The risk of weight gain can be lower when taking Lupigest 100 Capsule in combination with estrogen as part of a combined hormonal therapy.
Is Lupigest 100 Capsule safe?
Lupigest 100 Capsule has been shown to be safer compared to synthetic progesterone, primarily due to its smaller particle size enhancing bioavailability and reducing side effects such as fluid retention, reduction in HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
What role does progesterone play in fertility and pregnancy?

Lupigest 100 Capsule (micronized natural form of progesterone) is administered as a medication to support uterine preparation for pregnancy, prevent abortions in some cases, and prevent premature labor.
