Hello,

Gestofit 200 MG Capsule is obtained from plant sources and has a similar action to the female hormone, progesterone. It is used to correct menstrual disorders caused due to a deficiency of this hormone in the body. It is also used as a component in hormone replacement therapy and for maintenance of early pregnancy under specific circumstances.

Some side effects are:
•     chest pain and discomfort
•     Fever and chills
•     Difficulty in passing urine
•     Breast pain and tenderness
•     Muscle or joint pain
•     White or brownish discharge from the vagina
•     Headache
•     Dizziness
•     Depression
•     Viral infections
•     Breast lumps
•     Loss of vision or blurred vision
•     Unexpected vaginal bleeding
