Question 1

What is GestoFORD 200 Capsule?

Accepted Answer

GestoFORD 200 Capsule is a type of progesterone hormone which is extracted from plants, but its properties match those of 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 GestoFORD 200 Capsule in the body and decreases its side effects.
