What is Gufigest Gel?
Gufigest gel is a vaginal gel made by Gufic Biosciences. Its active ingredient is progesterone. It is a hormone medicine that gives the body the progesterone it needs.
What is gufigest gel used for?
Doctors prescribe this gel mainly during fertility treatment. It supports the womb lining so a fertilised egg can settle in and grow.
Common gufigest gel uses include:
- Support during IVF and other fertility treatments
- Helping women with low progesterone levels
- Backing the early weeks of pregnancy in at-risk cases
It is used by women going through fertility care under a doctor’s plan.
How progesterone works in the body
Progesterone gets the womb ready for pregnancy. It makes the womb lining thick and steady so an embryo can attach.
When you place the gel inside the vagina, the progesterone is absorbed straight into nearby tissue. From there it reaches the womb directly. This keeps the lining calm and stops it from shedding too early.
The gel copies a hormone your body should make on its own.
Gufigest gel how to use
Each pack holds the gel in single applicators for easy vaginal use. Your doctor decides how long you need it and when to start. Follow the schedule your fertility specialist gives you.
Many women ask if the gel leaks out after use. A small amount of discharge is normal. It is not a sign the medicine failed.
Side effects of gufigest gel
Most women handle progesterone gel without trouble. Some may notice mild effects that pass on their own.
- Mild bloating or stomach discomfort
- Breast tenderness
- Headache
- Feeling sleepy or tired
- Vaginal discharge or irritation
- Mood changes
Stop and call your doctor right away if you get chest pain, sudden leg swelling, or trouble breathing. These can be signs of a blood clot and need emergency care.
Things to know before using it
This gel is not right for everyone. Tell your doctor about your full medical history first.
- Do not use it if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Avoid it if you have had a blood clot in the legs or lungs
- Tell your doctor if you have liver problems
- Mention any history of breast or womb cancer
Let your doctor know about every other medicine you take. Some drugs do not mix well with progesterone.
How to store gufigest gel
- Keep the gel at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight.
