GESTLIFE-200 SR

Description

GESTLIFE-200 SR is a prescription hormonal medication containing Natural Micronized Progesterone (200 mg) in a specialized Sustained Release (SR) tablet formulation. Progesterone is an essential female sex hormone naturally produced by the ovaries. This medication is widely prescribed in gynecology and obstetrics to support early pregnancy, prevent preterm labor, treat recurrent or habitual abortions (miscarriages), and manage menstrual irregularities such as amenorrhea or abnormal uterine bleeding. It is also used as a part of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to protect the uterine lining in postmenopausal women.

How it Works

• Natural Micronized Progesterone (200 mg): It works by binding to specific progesterone receptors in target tissues, effectively mimicking the body’s natural hormone. It prepares the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) to receive and support a fertilized egg, ensuring a stable environment for a healthy pregnancy.

• Micronization: The active progesterone is micronized (broken down into micro-particles), which drastically improves its absorption and bioavailability in the body.

• Sustained Release (SR) Technology: The tablet matrix is engineered to dissolve gradually in the gastrointestinal tract. This provides a steady, controlled release of the hormone into the bloodstream, preventing sudden hormonal spikes and reducing systemic side effects like severe drowsiness.

How to Use

• Dosage: As strictly directed by your obstetrician or gynecologist. The frequency, duration, and exact timing depend entirely on the specific clinical condition being treated (e.g., pregnancy support vs. menstrual cycle regulation).

• Administration: It is highly recommended to take this tablet with food, preferably in the evening or at bedtime, to minimize potential side effects like dizziness or lightheadedness.

• Swallow Whole: Do not crush, chew, split, or break the sustained-release tablet. It must be swallowed whole with a full glass of water to ensure the slow-release mechanism works correctly.

• Adherence: Take this medication at the exact same time every day to keep your hormone levels stable. Do not stop taking it abruptly without consulting your doctor, especially if you are taking it to maintain a pregnancy.

Key Features

• Bio-Identical Hormone: Contains natural progesterone structurally identical to the hormone produced by the human body, offering a superior safety and tolerability profile over synthetic progestins.

• Sustained Level Control: Utilizes advanced sustained-release technology to deliver stable therapeutic blood levels over an extended period.

• Targeted Pregnancy Care: Provides critical endometrial support necessary for successful embryo implantation and early gestational maintenance.

Possible Side Effects

• Common: Drowsiness, dizziness, headache, bloating, breast tenderness, mild stomach cramps, or irregular spotting/changes in menstrual cycles.

• Rare but Serious: Sudden severe headache, vision changes, pain or swelling in one leg (signs of a blood clot), or yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice). Contact your healthcare provider immediately if any serious side effects occur.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place below 25°C. Protect the tablets from direct heat, sunlight, and moisture.

• Packaging: 10 x 10 Tablets (100 sustained-release tablets total per box).

FAQ

• Q: Why is it recommended to take GESTLIFE-200 SR at bedtime?

  • A: Progesterone can have a natural relaxing or sedating effect on the brain, which may cause temporary dizziness or drowsiness shortly after ingestion. Taking the tablet right before sleep allows you to rest comfortably while minimizing these daytime symptoms.

• Q: I am in my early weeks of pregnancy and noticed light spotting. Should I stop taking this tablet?

  • A: No, do not stop taking the medication. Progesterone is often prescribed precisely to prevent miscarriages and stabilize the pregnancy. Contact your gynecologist immediately to report the spotting so they can evaluate your condition and provide guidance.

• Q: What should I do if I miss a dose of GESTLIFE-200 SR?

  • A: Take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and return to your regular timing. Do not take two tablets at once to compensate for a forgotten dose.
