Product introduction

Fsprogest Gel is used to restore menstrual cycles in women whose periods have stopped. It is a natural female hormone important for regulating ovulation (release of an egg from a woman's ovary) and menstruation. It is used in the treatment of infertility to help you get pregnant.

Benefits of Fsprogest Gel

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. 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.

In 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

However, if any of these side effects bother you or persist for a longer duration, consult your doctor.

Q. How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
