Pregnenolone Capsule 100mg Taj Pharma

Overview Information

Pregnenolone is a chemical that is found in our bodies. It can also be made in a laboratory. People use it for medicine.

Pregnenolone is taken by mouth to improve symptoms of schizophrenia. It is also used to help fight fatigue, increase energy, enhance memory, and improve mood. But there is limited scientific research to support these other uses.

How does it work?

In the body, pregnenolone is used to make steroid hormones. Pregnenolone affects many different chemicals in the brain and may play a role in certain psychiatric illnesses.

Uses & Effectiveness?

Insufficient Evidence for

• Autism. Early research shows that taking pregnenolone for 12 weeks may improve some symptoms of autism.
• Bipolar disorder. Early research shows that taking pregnenolone for 12 weeks may improve symptoms of depression in people with bipolar disorder.
• Schizophrenia. Taking pregnenolone as add-on therapy for 8 weeks might improve some negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as the inability to feel pleasure, lack of emotion, and limited speech. But not all research agrees. Taking pregnenolone as add-on therapy doesn’t seem to improve positive symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations or delusions.
• Arthritis.
• Depression.
• Endometriosis (abnormal thickening of the lining of uterus).
• Fatigue.
• Slowing or reversing aging.
• Other conditions.

Side Effects & Safety

Pregnenolone is POSSIBLY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth for up to 12 weeks.

In some people, pregnenolone can cause skin rashes, acne, hair loss, diarrhea or constipation, problems sleeping, restlessness, agitation, sweating, or tremor. It may also cause palpitations (irregular heart beat), depressed mood, both increased or decreased appetite, or muscle pain.

Not enough is known about the safety of long-term use of pregnenolone. Stick with short-term use.

Special Precautions & Warnings:

Hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Pregnenolone is converted by the body to estrogen. If you have any condition that might be made worse by exposure to estrogen, don’t take supplemental pregnenolone.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking pregnenolone by mouth if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
