Medicine overview
Gestoford 200 Mg Capsule is a prescription hormone medicine containing 200 mg of natural micronised progesterone in each soft gelatin capsule. Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone involved in the menstrual cycle and the preparation of the uterine lining. Gestoford-200 is used for progesterone-related gynaecological disorders and may also be prescribed with estrogen during hormone replacement therapy. The micronised formulation uses smaller progesterone particles to improve absorption.
What it is used for
Gestoford-200 may be prescribed to help restart menstrual periods in secondary amenorrhea, manage abnormal uterine bleeding associated with hormonal imbalance, and treat severe premenstrual syndrome. It may also be used alongside estrogen as part of hormone replacement therapy. When progesterone is combined appropriately with estrogen in postmenopausal women who have a uterus, it helps protect the endometrium, or uterine lining, from excessive estrogen-related growth.
How it works
Progesterone acts on progesterone receptors and produces effects similar to the body's naturally occurring hormone. In the uterus, it changes an estrogen-stimulated endometrium from a proliferative state to a secretory state, helping regulate the uterine lining. This hormonal action explains its role in menstrual disorders and its use with estrogen in hormone replacement therapy. Micronisation improves the oral absorption of progesterone.
How it is taken
Take Gestoford-200 only according to the prescribing clinician's directions; the manufacturer specifies the dosage as prescribed by the physician. For oral micronised progesterone 200 mg capsules, authoritative product information advises oral administration at bedtime and states that food can increase progesterone bioavailability. Because Gestoford may be prescribed for different conditions, do not create or change a dosing schedule without the prescriber's instructions. Drowsiness or dizziness can occur after oral progesterone.
Important warnings
Do not use progesterone if there is a known allergy to progesterone or the formulation's ingredients. Important contraindications for systemic progesterone include unexplained genital bleeding, known or suspected breast cancer, active or previous deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, arterial thromboembolic disease such as stroke or myocardial infarction, and significant liver dysfunction or disease. Drug interactions can occur with medicines that alter CYP3A4 activity, including rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, ketoconazole and some HIV medicines; St John's wort can also increase progesterone metabolism. Seek urgent medical attention for painful leg swelling, sudden chest pain or shortness of breath, symptoms suggesting stroke, sudden vision changes, or a severe allergic reaction. Drowsiness and dizziness can impair driving or machinery use.
Side effects and monitoring
Common or clinically reported effects of oral micronised progesterone include headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, abdominal bloating or pain, vaginal discharge or bleeding, nausea, fatigue and sleepiness. Breakthrough bleeding or spotting can occur. Serious concerns include thromboembolic events, significant liver problems, severe allergic reactions and unexpected or persistent abnormal vaginal bleeding. Obtain prompt medical assessment for chest pain, sudden breathlessness, painful leg swelling, jaundice, new severe migraine-type headache, sudden vision disturbance, or unexplained persistent bleeding. When progesterone is used as part of HRT, appropriate periodic clinical review and breast and gynaecological assessment may be required.
Pregnancy
Progesterone products have route- and indication-specific uses during pregnancy, so Gestoford-200 should be used during pregnancy only when specifically prescribed for an appropriate indication. Do not start, stop, or change prescribed progesterone during pregnancy without medical advice.
Breastfeeding
Progesterone passes into breast milk in low amounts. LactMed reports that the amounts ingested by a breastfed infant are small and are not expected to cause adverse effects, although individual progesterone products may have different labelled recommendations.
Food and drink
Food can increase the bioavailability of oral micronised progesterone. Authoritative oral progesterone 200 mg product information therefore instructs that capsules be taken at bedtime and not with food. Follow the specific directions supplied with Gestoford-200 or those given by the prescriber because administration instructions can differ between progesterone formulations.
Storage
Store below 25°C. Keep the medicine out of reach of children.
Frequently asked questions
Can progesterone 200 mg make me feel very sleepy or tired?
Yes. Sleepiness, fatigue and dizziness are recognised effects of oral micronised progesterone. Because these effects can impair alertness, avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.
Is spotting or unexpected bleeding normal while taking progesterone?
Spotting or breakthrough bleeding can occur with progesterone treatment. Persistent bleeding, bleeding that starts after you have been stable on treatment, or otherwise unexplained vaginal bleeding should be medically assessed.
Should I take Gestoford-200 with food?
Food can increase the absorption of oral micronised progesterone. Reference information for oral 200 mg micronised progesterone advises taking it at bedtime and not with food, but follow the directions specifically provided for Gestoford-200 by your prescriber.
Why is progesterone sometimes prescribed with estrogen during HRT?
Progesterone helps protect the uterine lining in women with a uterus who use systemic estrogen. Adding progesterone reduces the excessive endometrial stimulation associated with estrogen-only treatment.
Can I use Gestoford-200 during pregnancy?
Only when it has been specifically prescribed for an appropriate pregnancy-related indication. Progesterone formulations and routes are not interchangeable, so do not start, stop or alter treatment during pregnancy without guidance from the clinician managing the pregnancy.
Does progesterone pass into breast milk?
Yes, small amounts of progesterone enter breast milk. Available evidence indicates that infant exposure is low and adverse effects are not expected, but the suitability of this particular product during breastfeeding should be discussed with the prescriber.
Can Cheap Generic Med ship Gestoford-200 to the United States?
Cheap Generic Med serves the United States under its international shipping model. Delivery is typically estimated at 10-14 business days after dispatch, but customs and local carrier delays can extend transit; prescription and personal-import requirements may also apply.
Will my Gestoford-200 order have tracking?
Under Cheap Generic Med's standard international fulfilment model, tracked shipping is used and a tracking number should be provided after dispatch. New tracking details may take 24-72 hours to show movement in the carrier system.
