Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule

Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is a progesterone medicine in soft gelatin capsule form. Each capsule contains 100 mg of progesterone, a hormone used in infertility therapy and other conditions where the body needs progesterone support. It is commonly prescribed to help prepare or support the uterine lining and to supplement low progesterone levels. Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule should be used only as directed by a clinician familiar with your fertility treatment plan.

How it works: Progesterone helps thicken and stabilize the lining of the uterus, which can support implantation and early pregnancy in fertility treatment. In soft gelatin capsule form, Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule delivers progesterone in a swallowable dose that your body absorbs to replace or supplement natural hormone levels.

Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule provides 100 mg of progesterone in each soft gelatin capsule, which allows flexible dosing when a prescriber wants a smaller, adjustable amount rather than a higher-strength option. Because this is a capsule form, it may be chosen for people who need progesterone support as part of fertility care and for dose schedules that require more than one capsule per day, depending on the plan. Your doctor may select this strength when they want closer control over the total daily progesterone dose.

• Progesterone supplementation in infertility therapy
• Support for luteal phase deficiency
• Help preparing the uterine lining for conception
• Support after ovulation as directed by a fertility specialist
• Hormone replacement when progesterone is needed

• Swallow Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed, because progesterone support is often scheduled around ovulation or fertility procedures.
• Do not open, chew, or crush the soft gelatin capsule unless your clinician specifically tells you to.
• If your dose is prescribed more than once daily, space the capsules out as directed.
• If it causes sleepiness or dizziness, taking it at bedtime may be preferred if your prescriber approves.
• Food may affect tolerability for some people, so follow your prescriber’s instructions about taking it with or without food.

Each Nigest 100 mg Soft Gelatin Capsule provides 100 mg of progesterone. The total daily dose can vary widely in fertility care, and the doctor decides how many capsules to take and how often, sometimes in divided doses through the day. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount; the maximum per day is determined by the treatment plan and your clinician’s instructions.

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