    How does Macgest work?

    Dr Anjum Mujawar MBBS, MBBS , Emergency Medicine

    Macgest helps in regulating the menstrual cycle. It prepares the uterus for pregnancy. After ovulation every month, it thickens the uterine wall to prepare to receive the fertilized egg, however, if there is no fertilization, the levels of progesterone drop and menstruation begins. In case of fertilization the fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall, progesterone helps maintain the thickness of the uterine wall throughout the duration of pregnancy.
