Endogest 100 mg Capsule

Endogest 100 mg Capsule is a progesterone medicine in capsule form, with each capsule containing 100 mg of progesterone. Progesterone is a progestin hormone used in women’s health for conditions where the body needs extra progesterone support, such as menstrual or fertility-related concerns. Endogest 100 mg Capsule may also be used as part of hormone therapy when prescribed by a clinician. It is a prescription product made by Cipla, India, and the exact dose and schedule depend on the reason it was prescribed.

How it works: Progesterone works by helping replace or supplement the natural hormone progesterone in the body. In capsule form, Endogest 100 mg Capsule is absorbed after swallowing and helps support the uterine lining and other hormone-dependent processes.

Endogest 100 mg Capsule is a lower, flexible capsule strength that can be chosen when a prescriber wants a more adjustable progesterone dose than stronger capsules would allow. Because it is 100 mg per capsule, it may suit people who need smaller or divided doses, and it can feel milder than higher-strength progesterone capsules for some patients. A doctor may choose Endogest 100 mg Capsule when gradual titration or twice-daily dosing is preferred.

• Swallow Endogest 100 mg Capsule whole with water; do not open, chew, or crush it unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.

Each Endogest 100 mg Capsule provides 100 mg of progesterone. Depending on the reason it is prescribed, it may be taken once daily or divided into 2 or more doses per day; the maximum daily amount is individualized by the prescriber and should not be changed on your own. Your doctor decides the dose and duration based on your symptoms, hormone needs, and response to treatment.

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