Product Introduction

Susten SR 400 Tablet contains Progesterone, a natural female hormone that plays an essential role in regulating ovulation and the menstrual cycle. It is prescribed to treat women who have not reached menopause but experience missed or irregular periods due to progesterone deficiency. This sustained-release tablet helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy by thickening the uterine lining (endometrium), improving the chances of successful implantation and supporting early pregnancy. It is also used in combination with estrogen as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help prevent endometrial hyperplasia (abnormal thickening of the uterine lining).

Take Susten SR 400 Tablet with food and at the same time each day to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Continue using the medicine for the duration recommended by your doctor, even if you start feeling better. In some cases, treatment may continue during the early stages of pregnancy to provide hormonal support. Before starting this medication, inform your healthcare provider about your medical history, current medications, and any existing liver disease, blood clotting disorders, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or hormone-sensitive cancers.
