Product Introduction

Gufigest SR 400mg Capsule contains the active component Progesterone, a hormone that plays a vital role in the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. It is produced mainly by the ovaries after ovulation, but the placenta can also produce it during pregnancy and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands. This medication is designed to mimic the natural effect of progesterone in the body. Uses generally include hormone replacement therapy during menopause, menstrual cycle regulation, and support for early pregnancy in specific fertility protocols.

Individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Progesterone or its components should avoid this medication. It may not be recommended for patients with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease, certain types of cancer (e.g., breast cancer, liver cancer), a history of blood clotting disorders, or undiagnosed vaginal bleeding. These conditions can increase the risk of complications or may be exacerbated by Gufigest SR 400mg Capsule. In some cases, patients with certain hormonal imbalances, such as uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or poorly managed diabetes, may require careful monitoring or adjustment of their medication regimen when using this treatment.

Uses
