About Gestone 400 mg Capsule

Gestone 400 mg Capsule belongs to the class of medicines known as hormones used to treat female infertility and to aid pregnancy. It is also used to restore the menstrual cycle in women who have missed their periods. Female infertility is a condition in which a female body is unable to conceive despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for at least one year.

Gestone 400 mg Capsule contains progesterone, a female hormone that regulates ovulation and menstruation in women. Gestone 400 mg Capsule induces secretory changes in the endometrium lining of the uterus, relaxes the uterus, blocks the maturation and release of follicles and maintains pregnancy.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before using Gestone 400 mg Capsule inform your doctor if you have/had liver or kidney problems, heart problems, diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, migraine or depression.
