Stegest-SR 200 is a sustained-release progesterone tablet delivering 200 mg per dose. Progesterone is a natural hormone essential for preparing and maintaining the uterine lining during early pregnancy and for managing several reproductive health conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
Sustained-release technology allows steady progesterone release over time, helping maintain consistent hormone levels and improving therapeutic effect with fewer peaks and troughs.
Clinical Uses
Infertility support: Used as luteal support in assisted reproductive techniques (ART) to support embryo implantation.
Menstrual disorders: Treats amenorrhoea and regulates irregular cycles where progesterone is indicated.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Administered with oestrogen in menopausal HRT to prevent endometrial hyperplasia.
Preterm birth prevention: In selected high-risk pregnancies, progesterone may reduce the risk of early labour.
How It Works
Progesterone prepares the uterine lining for implantation and helps maintain an environment suitable for early pregnancy. It can also calm uterine activity, reducing the chance of contractions that could threaten pregnancy.
Dosage & Administration
Dosage varies by indication and patient response. Take only as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Tablets are taken orally; follow the schedule and instructions provided by your clinician.
