U-Progest (200mg) 10 Tablets

U-Progest capsule is used in hormone replacement therapy. It contains progesterone which prepares the endometrium for pregnancy after ovulation and causes the lining to thicken for a fertilized egg. Additionally, it forbids the uterine muscles from contracting in a way that would prompt the body to reject an egg.

Progestins

U-Progest capsules are used for these purposes:

• As a part of hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women who have not undergone a hysterectomy.
• To stop the uterine lining from abnormal thickening due to estrogen.
• To lower the chance of ovarian cancer.
• To control a fertile woman's menstrual cycle who had previously experienced a regular cycle but abruptly stopped menstruating.
