Gesterol Sr 200 Tablet 10

Gesterol SR 200 Tablet is used for the following:

• Endometrial hyperplasia: Gestofert SR 300 Tablet is used to prevent or treat endometrial hyperplasia in non-hysterectomized postmenopausal women. Endometrial hyperplasia is the abnormal thickening of the lining of the uterus (endometrium) and can be a precursor to more serious conditions. Progesterone helps counteract the effects of estrogen on the uterine lining, reducing the risk of hyperplasia.

• Secondary amenorrhea: This tablet can be used to induce menstruation in cases of secondary amenorrhea by mimicking the natural hormonal changes in the body and regulating the menstrual cycle.

Gesterol SR 200 Tablet is taken orally.

Gesterol SR 200 Tablet contains natural micronised progesterone (200 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Replaces Progesterone: The progesterone in Gesterol SR 200 Tablet replaces the progesterone levels in your body, mimicking its natural actions.

• Counters Estrogen-Induced Endometrial Proliferation: Progesterone works against the proliferation of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) caused by estrogen. This makes the uterus more receptive for embryo implantation and helps sustain pregnancy.

• Ensures Optimal Bioavailability: The micronised formulation enhances progesterone's dissolution and absorption, providing better bioavailability with fewer side effects compared to synthetic progestins.

• Provides Stable Serum Progesterone Levels: The sustained-release delivery ensures stable serum progesterone levels in the mid-luteal phase needed for optimal endometrial support.

• Keep Gesterol SR 200 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 25˚C.

• Protect from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

• Remember to use Gesterol SR 200 Tablet before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• If you're struggling with menopause symptoms, consider incorporating foods rich in phytoestrogens, like flax seeds, soy products, and whole grains, into your diet. Phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that mimic estrogen in the body and can help balance hormones.

• Regular exercise can also help manage menopause symptoms. Activities like yoga, walking, or swimming can reduce hot flashes and improve mood swings associated with low progesterone levels.
