Clinical Uses
Progestone Capsules are used to treat menstrual disorders such as irregular periods and secondary amenorrhea (unusual stopping of periods) caused by low progesterone levels. They may also be prescribed for luteal phase support during fertility and pregnancy treatment.

Dosage Strengths
