Product Introduction
Susten 100mg Capsule contains Progesterone as its active ingredient, a naturally occurring hormone that plays an essential role in the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. It is mainly produced by the ovaries after ovulation, while the placenta also produces it during pregnancy. Small amounts are secreted by the adrenal glands. This medicine is formulated to mimic the effects of natural progesterone and is commonly prescribed for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in menopausal women and to help regulate the menstrual cycle in women with irregular periods or progesterone deficiency.
Do not take Susten 100mg Capsule if you are allergic to progesterone or any of its ingredients. It may not be suitable for individuals with liver disease, certain cancers such as breast or liver cancer, a history of blood clotting disorders, or unexplained vaginal bleeding, as these conditions may increase the risk of complications or worsen during treatment. Patients with hormonal disorders, including uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or poorly controlled diabetes, may require close monitoring or dose adjustments while using this medication. Always inform your doctor about your complete medical history before starting Susten 100mg Capsule.
