Uses of Fsprogest Gel

Benefits of Fsprogest Gel

Hormone replacement therapy
Hormone placement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood. Progesterone is one of two important hormones (the other being is estrogen) used in this treatment. However, it may not treat all your symptoms, consult with your doctor. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.

Treatment of Female infertility
Fsprogest Gel contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. This medicine helps to prepare the uterus for pregnancy by causing the uterus lining (endometrium) to thicken. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant.

How to use Fsprogest Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Fsprogest Gel works

Fsprogest Gel is a progesterone (female hormone). It helps to establish and maintain pregnancy. It also prevents the increase in thickness of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) caused by estrogen.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fsprogest Gel and what is it used for?

Fsprogest Gel contains progesterone, which is a natural female sex hormone. It is used to treat menstrual and pregnancy-related issues that are caused due to hormonal imbalance. It may also be prescribed along with estrogen as a part of hormonal replacement therapy for preventing endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the lining of the uterus).

For best results, take it strictly as per the advice of your doctor. The dose and duration depend on your exact medical condition. It is recommended to use it at the same time each day to ensure consistent levels of medicine in your body.

What if I miss to take Fsprogest Gel?

If you miss the dose, you should take it as soon as possible. If it is almost the time for your next dose, do not take the missed dose, instead continue the usual dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the for the missed one.

What are the common side effects which I can experience while taking Fsprogest Gel?

The common side effects are vaginal discharge, headache, feeling tired, stomach cramps, and breast tenderness. If any of the side effects bother you, please consult with your doctor.

What is Fsprogest Gel?

Fsprogest Gel is a type of progesterone hormone which is extracted from plants, but its property matches with the human progesterone. This medicine undergoes a process called micronization where the size of the natural progesterone is reduced. The small size of the progesterone particles enhances its dissolution and absorption. This provides better availability of Fsprogest Gel in the body and decreases its side effects.

What is Fsprogest Gel used to treat?

Fsprogest Gel is used to treat various disorders. It is given to women with secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for 3 months in menstruating women). It is used to support pregnancy, prevent premature labor and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It may be used as a part of fertility treatment and may be given as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. It is also given to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding like in dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Can you take Fsprogest Gel every day?

Yes, Fsprogest Gel can be taken every day. It is usually prescribed to be taken once daily in the evening or at bedtime. The usual duration of prescription may vary from 10-12 days a month to 25 days a month. However, the number of days for which you will need to take this medicine in each cycle will be suggested by your doctor depending upon your health condition.

Does Fsprogest Gel cause weight gain?

Yes, Fsprogest Gel may cause weight gain. The weight gain may be due to water retention and may not be a serious sign. However, contact your doctor in case your weight gain is worrying you. The risk of weight gain is generally less if Fsprogest Gel and estrogen are taken as a combined pill. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor before starting any hormonal therapy.

Is Fsprogest Gel safe?

Yes, Fsprogest Gel is safer as compared to the normal synthetic progesterone. It is small in size which helps the body to absorb it easily. Because of its small size the risk of side effects like fluid retention, reduction of HDL cholesterol levels, headaches and mood disturbance are also very less. However, if any of these side effects bother you or persist for a longer duration, consult your doctor.

How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?

Progesterone is a very crucial hormone in fertility. It prepares the uterus for pregnancy and also helps maintain it. Fsprogest Gel (natural micronized form of progesterone) is given as a medicine in cases of infertility to support the uterus in preparing itself for the pregnancy and to prevent the abortions in some cases. It is also used to prevent premature labor.
