What is Belgest

Belgest is a female hormone important for the regulation of ovulation and menstruation.
Belgest is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not yet reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of Belgest in the body. Belgest is also used to prevent overgrowth in the lining of the uterus in postmenopausal women who are receiving estrogen hormone replacement therapy.
Belgest should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia, because Belgest may actually increase your risk of developing these conditions.
Belgest may also be used for other purposes not listed in Belgest guide.
