Progesterone 100 mg Injection (Susten)

In Female infertility

SustEN 100 Injection contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. This medicine helps to prepare the uterus for pregnancy by causing the uterus lining (endometrium) to thicken. This increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. You may be asked to continue with this treatment for a period after becoming pregnant.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

SustEN 100 Injection works by preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining a healthy environment for fetal development. It thickens the uterine lining to support implantation and prevents contractions that could lead to early pregnancy loss. Additionally, it helps regulate the menstrual cycle and balances other reproductive hormones. In hormone therapy, it supports overall hormonal stability and helps manage symptoms related to hormonal imbalances.
