GESTEROL SR 300 Tablet 10contains natural micronised progesterone (300 mg), which acts on your body in several ways:

• Endometrium stimulation: Progesterone prepares the lining of your uterus (the endometrium) for pregnancy by causing secretory changes that are necessary for embryo implantation.

• Pregnancy support: This hormone maintains the endometrium throughout pregnancy, helping to support fetal development.

• Uterine contractility inhibition: Progesterone prevents your uterus from contracting too much, which could lead to premature labour.

• Estrogen counteraction: The hormone counteracts estrogen's proliferative effects on the endometrium, reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.

• Breast development promotion: Progesterone assists in developing breasts and producing milk.

• LH surge suppression: The hormone works on your brain to suppress a surge in luteinising hormone (LH), thus having an anti-ovulatory effect.

• Mood and Cognition Influence: Progesterone also acts on the brain to influence reproductive behaviours, mood, and cognition.

• Store GESTEROL SR 300 Tablet 10in a dry, cool place, away from light and moisture.
