Gestone Injection contains progesterone, a crucial hormone for reproductive health and pregnancy maintenance. This injectable medication provides a direct and effective way to supplement progesterone levels when needed.

Uses

Gestone is primarily used for luteal phase support in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatments, prevention of preterm birth in women with a history of preterm delivery, and treatment of secondary amenorrhea.

Benefits

Supports implantation and early pregnancy maintenance in ART
Helps prevent preterm birth in high-risk pregnancies
Treats menstrual irregularities caused by progesterone deficiency
Provides rapid and reliable progesterone supplementation
May help reduce the risk of miscarriage in certain cases

How It Works

Progesterone works by preparing the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg and maintaining pregnancy. It also helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports the development of mammary glands.

Dosage

The dosage varies depending on the specific condition being treated. For ART, typical doses range from 25 mg to 100 mg daily, usually starting from the day of egg retrieval. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions precisely.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include injection site reactions, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Serious side effects, though rare, can include blood clots or allergic reactions. Contact your doctor if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Warning

Gestone should be administered by or under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It’s contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to progesterone, active liver disease, or a history of thromboembolic disorders.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Gestone is often used to support pregnancy, especially in its early stages. However, its use during breastfeeding should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

Interaction

May interact with drugs metabolized by the liver
Can affect the efficacy of some hormonal treatments
May interact with drugs that affect blood clotting
Inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you’re taking

Gestone injections require proper storage and handling. Regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is essential during treatment. Report any unusual symptoms promptly. This medication should be part of a comprehensive fertility or prenatal care plan. Follow-up appointments are crucial to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust dosage if necessary.
