Product Introduction

Gestone 100mg Injection contains Progesterone, a hormone that plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system by regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. Naturally, Progesterone is produced by the ovaries after ovulation, while the placenta becomes its primary source during pregnancy. Small amounts are also produced by the adrenal glands. Gestone 100mg Injection provides progesterone supplementation to help manage conditions caused by hormone deficiency. It is commonly prescribed for hormone replacement therapy, menstrual irregularities, infertility treatment, and pregnancy support, as advised by a healthcare professional. Avoid using this injection if you are allergic to Progesterone or any of its ingredients. It may not be suitable for individuals with liver disease, hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast or liver cancer, a history of blood clotting disorders, or unexplained vaginal bleeding, as these conditions may increase the risk of adverse effects. Patients with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, poorly controlled diabetes, or other hormonal disorders should use Gestone 100mg Injection under medical supervision, as regular monitoring and dosage adjustments may be required.
