Frequently asked questions
What is Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone derived from plants, designed to match the human body's natural progesterone. This medication undergoes micronization, reducing the size of natural progesterone particles for increased dissolution and absorption within the body. This enhances its availability and reduces side effects.
What is Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule used to treat?
Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is used to address various health conditions. It's prescribed for women experiencing secondary amenorrhea (lack of menstruation for three months). It aids in pregnancy support, preventing premature labor, and treating bleeding disorders before menopause. In some cases, it may be used as part of fertility treatment or as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. It also effectively relieves symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome and heavy menstrual bleeding (dysfunctional uterine bleeding).
Can I take Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?
Yes, Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule can be taken daily. Typically, it's prescribed to take once a day in the evening or bedtime.

Your doctor will determine the specific number of days for each cycle based on your individual health condition.
Does Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule may lead to weight gain. This is primarily due to fluid retention. However, it's important to consult your doctor if you experience significant or worrisome weight changes.
Is Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?
Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule is considered safer compared to conventional synthetic progesterone. Its smaller particle size aids in the body's easy absorption, reducing side effects such as fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood disturbances.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is a vital hormone for both fertility and pregnancy. It is secreted by the ovaries to prepare the uterus for implantation and maintain a healthy pregnancy. Mitgest 200 Soft Gelatin Capsule (a natural micronized form of progesterone) is used in fertility cases to help the uterus prepare for pregnancy, preventing abortions in certain cases. Its use also aids in preventing premature labor.
