GESTONE 100MG INJECTION is used for the maintenance of early pregnancy in patients who faced documented history of repeated miscarriages due to luteal phase defect (a problem in menstrual cycle caused due to deficiency of progesterone during the midway of the menstrual cycle).

It can also be used as an adjuvant to infertility techniques (such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT)) to facilitate successful implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus. It is also used to manage threatened abortions and to manage abnormal uterine bleeding caused due to hormonal imbalance.

It can be used as a diagnostic tool in progesterone withdrawal testing to diagnose the endocrinal causes of secondary amenorrhea (irregular or lack of menstrual periods) and to judge the chances of pregnancy among infertile women.

It contains a medicine called progesterone which is a steroid hormone that functions similar to the endogenous female sex hormones.
