Macgest 100 Capsule

Macgest 100 Capsule is a progesterone capsule used in infertility care and other situations where progesterone support is needed. Each capsule contains progesterone 100 mg, a natural female hormone used as a progestogen. It is prescribed to support the uterine lining and help manage hormone-related fertility treatment plans. Macgest 100 Capsule should be used only when a clinician has decided progesterone is appropriate for you.

How it works: Progesterone helps prepare and stabilize the lining of the uterus so it can better support implantation and early pregnancy in fertility treatment. As a capsule, Macgest 100 Capsule is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to provide progesterone support systemically.

Macgest 100 Capsule is the lower-strength option compared with Macgest 200 Capsule, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants smaller, more flexible dose adjustments or better tolerability. Because it is a 100 mg capsule, some patients may take it more than once daily, while others may be stepped up to a higher strength depending on the treatment plan. The exact schedule depends on the condition being treated and how your body responds.

• Luteal phase support in infertility treatment
• Progesterone supplementation
• Support after assisted reproductive procedures
• Hormonal treatment when progesterone is needed

• Take Macgest 100 Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not chew, crush, or open it unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep hormone levels steady.
• If it causes drowsiness or dizziness, your doctor may advise taking it at bedtime.
• Food may change how you feel after taking it, so follow the dosing instructions given by your clinician or pharmacist.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Macgest 100 Capsule provides progesterone 100 mg. The number of capsules taken per day varies by indication, and your doctor may prescribe it once daily or in divided doses; the maximum daily amount depends on your treatment plan and clinical response. Because this is a prescription hormone, your doctor decides the right dose and duration for you.

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