Frequently asked questions about Progesterone (Natural Micronized)
Q. What is Profine 200mg Capsule?
Profine 200mg Capsule 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 Profine 200mg Capsule in the body and decreases its side effects.
Q. What is Profine 200mg Capsule used to treat?
Profine 200mg Capsule is used to treat various disorders. It is given to women with secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for 3 months in women who have had their menses before). 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 used to prevent premature labor.
