Chemogest 400 Sr Tablet 10 contains progesterone (400 mg). This component works on your body through the following actions:

Transformation of Endometrium: Progesterone turns the lining of your uterus from a proliferative phase to a secretory phase. In simpler terms, it prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
Maintenance of Pregnancy: It supports uterine quiescence, which means it helps keep the uterus calm and prevents contractions that could lead to miscarriage.
Mammary Glands Development: Progesterone promotes the growth and development of mammary glands that produce milk.
Anti-Estrogenic Effects: It has antiestrogenic effects on the uterine lining, which means it counteracts the effects of estrogen.
Regulating Gonadotropin Secretion: The hormone also regulates gonadotropin secretion through negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This means it helps control the release of other hormones that play a part in female reproductive processes.
