Product Introduction

Gufigest SR 200mg Tablet contains Progesterone, a naturally occurring female hormone that plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, ovulation, fertility, and pregnancy. It is mainly produced by the ovaries after ovulation, while the placenta produces it during pregnancy. The adrenal glands also secrete small amounts of progesterone. This sustained-release tablet helps restore progesterone levels in women with hormone deficiencies and supports normal reproductive health.

Gufigest SR 200mg Tablet uses include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), treatment of progesterone deficiency, menstrual irregularities, luteal phase support during fertility treatment, and pregnancy support in women who require additional progesterone. It helps prepare the uterine lining for implantation and supports the maintenance of early pregnancy when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Do not take Gufigest SR 200mg Tablet if you are allergic to Progesterone or any of its ingredients. This medicine is generally not recommended for individuals with severe liver disease, hormone-dependent 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.

Before using Gufigest SR 200mg Tablet, tell your doctor if you have diabetes, thyroid disorders, liver disease, or other hormonal imbalances, as these conditions may require careful monitoring or dose adjustments during treatment. Always take this medicine exactly as directed by your healthcare provider for the best therapeutic outcome.
