Frequently asked questions
What is Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule?
Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone extracted from plants, but its properties closely match those of the human progesterone. It undergoes micronization, which reduces the size of natural progesterone particles. This smaller particle size enhances dissolution and absorption, leading to better availability and potentially fewer side effects within the body.
What is Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule used to treat?
Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for various conditions. It's used to address secondary amenorrhea (prolonged absence of menstruation), support pregnancy, and prevent premature labor. It may also be used in fertility treatments and as a hormone replacement therapy after menopause, addressing premenstrual syndrome or painful periods (dysfunctional uterine bleeding).
Can you take Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule every day?
Yes, Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule can be taken daily. It's typically prescribed for once-daily administration in the evening or bedtime. Prescription duration may vary between 10-12 days per month to 25 days per month. The specific number of days your doctor recommends will depend on your individual health condition.
Does Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule may lead to weight gain. The increase in weight is often associated with water retention and might not be a significant concern. However, if you experience any significant weight changes, it's advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation.
Is Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule safe?
Yes, Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule is generally considered safer compared to traditional synthetic progesterone. The smaller particle size facilitates easier absorption and reduces potential side effects like fluid retention, decreased HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood fluctuations.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a vital role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's the hormone secreted by the ovaries to prepare the uterus for potential pregnancy and maintain it. Uterone 300 Soft Gelatin Capsule (a micronized form of natural progesterone) is used medicinally to support the uterus during the preparation for pregnancy, preventing early abortions in some cases. It also helps prevent premature labor.
