About ALGEST 200MG SOFGELS
ALGEST 200MG SOFGELS is used as hormone replacement therapy, and in the treatment of amenorrhoea (absence of menstrual periods), prevents endometrial hyperplasia (thickened uterus lining). Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment to relieve menopause symptoms. It replaces hormones that are at a lower level as you approach menopause.
ALGEST 200MG SOFGELS contains progesterone, which works by replacing oestrogen and progesterone hormone levels in the body and providing relief from menopause symptoms.
In some cases, you may experience side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, headache, mood changes, diarrhoea, vaginal discharge, joint pain, or constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve on their own. However, if they persist, please consult your doctor.
