Gestofit 200 Capsule

Gestofit 200 Capsule is a progesterone medicine in capsule form, with each capsule containing 200 mg of progesterone. Progesterone is a progestin hormone used in infertility-related care and other conditions caused by low progesterone or when hormone support is needed. Gestofit 200 Capsule is commonly prescribed to support the uterine lining and help maintain an early pregnancy when a doctor has identified a need for progesterone therapy. It should be used only as directed by a clinician because the right dose and timing depend on the reason for treatment.

How it works: Progesterone helps prepare and stabilize the lining of the uterus, which can support implantation and early pregnancy in people who need hormone supplementation. In capsule form, Gestofit 200 Capsule delivers progesterone systemically after absorption, helping replace or support the body’s own progesterone levels.

Gestofit 200 Capsule is a higher-strength progesterone capsule, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a 200 mg dose in one capsule rather than using lower-strength capsules more often. This can make the dosing simpler, but it may also cause more drowsiness or dizziness in some people, especially after the first doses. Because there are no other listed strengths or forms of Gestofit here, this 200 mg capsule is the available presentation and should still be used only under medical supervision.

• Progesterone supplementation in infertility care
• Luteal phase support
• Support of early pregnancy when prescribed
• Treatment of progesterone deficiency
• Hormone support in selected gynecologic conditions

• Swallow Gestofit 200 Capsule whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed; progesterone is often scheduled consistently to keep hormone levels steady.
• If it makes you sleepy or dizzy, your doctor may advise taking it at bedtime.
• You may take it with or without food unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Do not open, chew, or crush the capsule unless a clinician specifically instructs you to do so.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions; do not double up without medical advice.

Each Gestofit 200 Capsule provides 200 mg of progesterone. The dosing frequency depends on why it was prescribed and how your doctor wants the hormone level supported; some patients may take it once daily, while others may need it more than once daily. Do not exceed the total daily amount your doctor has prescribed, because progesterone dosing must be individualized for this strength and condition.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
