C-Hop 200mg Tablet SR (Sustained Release)
C-Hop 200mg Tablet SR is a high-potency hormonal supplement containing Natural Micronized Progesterone. As a “Sustained Release” (SR) formulation, it is engineered to release the hormone gradually into the bloodstream, maintaining stable therapeutic levels over an extended period. This medication is primarily used to address gynecological disorders arising from progesterone deficiency, such as secondary amenorrhea (absence of periods) and abnormal uterine bleeding. Additionally, it plays a critical role in reproductive medicine, often prescribed to support the early stages of pregnancy, prevent threatened miscarriages, and reduce the risk of preterm labor in high-risk patients. By mimicking the body’s natural “pregnancy hormone,” C-Hop SR ensures the uterine environment remains stable and receptive.

- Effectively manages irregular cycles and heavy bleeding caused by progesterone imbalance.
- Essential for post-menopausal women on estrogen therapy to protect the uterus.

Precautions
- This medication can cause significant dizziness or sleepiness. It is highly recommended to take it at bedtime and avoid driving or operating machinery immediately after.
- Do not use this medication if you have a history of breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive malignancies.
- Contraindicated in patients with severe liver disease or impaired hepatic function.
- Use with caution if you have a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, or stroke, as progesterone may slightly increase clotting risks.
- Do not start this treatment if you have undiagnosed or abnormal vaginal bleeding until a doctor has ruled out serious underlying conditions.
- Check the ingredients carefully if you have a known allergy to soy or peanuts, as some progesterone formulations contain soy-derived components.
How to Use
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this will destroy the sustained-release mechanism.
- For optimal results and to minimize daytime drowsiness, take your dose in the evening or at bedtime.
- It is best taken on an empty stomach (or at least 2 hours after a meal) to ensure consistent absorption rates.
- Take the medication at the same time every day to maintain a steady hormonal balance in your system.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.
- Continue taking the medication for the exact duration prescribed by your doctor, especially if being used to support a pregnancy.
