Is There Any Alternative To Gestone 100 Injection?
Is there any alternative to gestone 100 injection? I understand there is another injection called sustane, but I looking more for a tablet or capsules to replace the injection as my wife is finding it untolerable to continue gestone. She has been taking for last 3 months.

Hi,
Incomplete data like age of your wife, purpose of taking gestone injection or any side effects occurring with its use? Yes, there are two equally effective oral progesterone formulations are available. Since your wife seems to be intolerant to injectable forms of natural micronized progesterone formulation like gestone and may be with sustane as well. You may consult her treating doctor for the alternate effective oral micronized synthetic formulations of progesterone like prometrium or utrogestan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
