Prescription Required
Product introduction
Gestofit 200 Capsule provides progesterone, which is a natural hormone essential for reproductive health. It is used to support pregnancy in female infertility and as part of hormone replacement therapy. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, prepares the uterus for pregnancy, and balances hormones.
You should use Gestofit 200 Capsule as your doctor has advised. Do not use more or less than you have been advised, and do not use it for longer than recommended. You may be asked to continue taking this medicine for a certain period after it is confirmed that you are pregnant.
The most common side effects include headache, stomach cramps, irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting, fluid retention, and nausea. Your doctor may be able to help you reduce or prevent side effects if they bother you or do not go away. Very occasionally, people get a severe allergic reaction that needs urgent medical attention.
Using this medicine may increase your risk of blood clots or breast cancer. Gestofit 200 Capsule may not suit everybody, and you should tell your doctor if you have, or have had, breast cancer, unusual bleeding in the vagina, or liver disease. You may be monitored more carefully if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems or have diabetes or asthma.
Let your doctor know your medical history to make sure it is safe for you. Check with your doctor about all other medicines that may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. You will probably have several tests both before and during treatment to check your womb. This medicine can alter your thinking or reactions, and you may feel very tired, so be careful if you drive or need to be alert.
Uses of Gestofit Soft Gelatin Capsule
Benefits of Gestofit Soft Gelatin Capsule
In Female infertility
Gestofit 200 Capsule 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. Progesterone 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.
In 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. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.
