Susten 200 Injection

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Susten 200 Injection provides progesterone, which is a natural hormone essential for reproductive health. It is used to support pregnancy in female infertility and as part of hormone replacement therapy. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, prepares the uterus for pregnancy, and balances hormones.

You should use Susten 200 Injection as your doctor has advised. It is given as an injection by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or use it for longer than recommended. Your doctor may advise you to continue receiving this injection for a certain period after pregnancy is confirmed.


The most common side effects include headache, back pain, dizziness, weight gain, vaginal discharge, stomach cramps, pain or swelling in your abdomen, and feeling sick. You may also feel bloated, less interested in sex, and get pain or discharge in your vagina. Your doctor or nurse may be able to help you reduce or prevent side effects if they bother you or do not go away. Very occasionally, people get a severe allergic reaction that needs urgent medical attention.


Susten 200 Injection may not suit everybody, and you should tell your doctor if you have, or have had, breast cancer, unusual bleeding in the vagina, or liver disease. You may be monitored more carefully if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, or have diabetes or asthma.


Let your doctor know your medical history. Check with your doctor about all other medicines that may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. You will probably have several tests both before and during treatment to check your womb. In general, alcohol is not recommended while taking this medicine.


Benefits of Susten Injection

In Treatment of Female infertility

Susten 200 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 certain period after becoming pregnant.

In Hormone replacement therapy

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.

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
