Progesterone is one of two important hormones (the other being is estrogen) used in this treatment. However, it may not treat all your symptoms, consult with your doctor. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.
In Treatment of Female infertility
Utreva 300mg Capsule contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation.

FAQs
What is Utreva 300mg Capsule?
Utreva 300mg Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone which is extracted from plants, but its property matches with the human progesterone. This medicine undergoes a process called micronization where the size of the natural progesterone is reduced. The small size of the progesterone particles enhances its dissolution and absorption. This provides better availability of Utreva 300mg Capsule in the body and decreases its side effects.
What is Utreva 300mg Capsule used to treat?
Utreva 300mg Capsule is used to treat various disorders. It is given to women with secondary amenorrhea (no menstruation for 3 months in women who have had their menses before). It is used to support pregnancy, prevent premature labor, and treat bleeding disorders that may occur before menopause. It may be used as a part of fertility treatment and may be given as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. It is also given to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful bleeding like in dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Can you take Utreva 300mg Capsule every day?
Yes, Utreva 300mg Capsule can be taken every day. It is usually prescribed to be taken once daily in the evening or at bedtime.

Does Utreva 300mg Capsule cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Utreva 300mg Capsule may cause weight gain. The weight gain may be due to water retention and may not be a serious sign. However, contact your doctor in case your weight gain is worrying you. The risk of weight gain is generally less if Utreva 300mg Capsule is taken with estrogen as a combined pill. But, do not start any hormonal therapy without consulting your doctor.
Is Utreva 300mg Capsule safe?
Yes, Utreva 300mg Capsule is safer as compared to the normal synthetic progesterone. Its smaller size helps the body absorb it easily and reduces the side effects like fluid retention, reduction of HDL cholesterol levels, headaches and mood disturbance.
How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
