ULTIGEST SR 200 10S

About

Progesterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone essential for the regulation of the menstrual cycle, maintenance of pregnancy, and development of female secondary sexual characteristics. As a sustained-release formulation, Ultigest SR 200 provides a steady release of progesterone, mimicking the body's natural hormonal patterns more closely. It primarily acts on the endometrium, preparing it for implantation and maintaining its integrity during early pregnancy. In non-pregnant women, it helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and counteract the proliferative effects of estrogen. This sustained-release form is often preferred for its improved patient compliance and reduced dosing frequency, ensuring consistent therapeutic levels. It plays a crucial role in hormone replacement therapy and fertility treatments, supporting various aspects of reproductive health.
