helpFrequently Asked Questions

What is GestoFORD 200 Capsule?

expand_more

GestoFORD 200 Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone which is extracted from plants, but its properties match those of 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 GestoFORD 200 Capsule in the body and decreases its side effects.

What is GestoFORD 200 Capsule used to treat?

expand_more

GestoFORD 200 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 given to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding, like in dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Does GestoFORD 200 Capsule cause weight gain?

expand_more

Yes, taking GestoFORD 200 Capsule may cause weight gain. The weight gain may be due to water retention and may not be a serious sign.
