Hi,

Lupigest is a form of the hormone progesterone. Are you having problems in your pregnancy? Or did you in a past pregnancy?

In the first trimester, it's often given to women who have had infertility treatment to help support the pregnancy until 11-12 weeks when the placenta starts to take over production of progesterone from the corpus luteum.

Also, it's given later in pregnancy for women with prior spontaneous preterm births or women diagnosed with a short cervix on the second trimester.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma,
