Susten 200 mg capsule

What Is Susten 200 mg Capsule

Susten 200 mg capsule is a progesterone 200 mg capsule used in hormone-related treatments in women. The active ingredient is natural micronized progesterone. It is made by Sun Pharma.

Progesterone is a hormone the body produces naturally. The Corpus Luteum in the ovary secretes progesterone which enriches the uterus with thick blood capillaries, giving the foetus sustained growth. Susten 200 mg delivers this hormone in capsule form for women whose natural levels are low.

What It Treats

Susten 200 mg capsule is used for luteal phase support during assisted reproduction such as IVF. It is also prescribed for progesterone deficiency in women trying to conceive. Doctors give it to support early pregnancy and prevent miscarriage linked to low progesterone. It also covers conditions like irregular menstrual cycles and secondary amenorrhoea. Both fertility and hormonal balance cases are treated with it.

How It Works

Progesterone prepares the lining of the uterus to receive a fertilised egg. When natural progesterone levels are too low, the uterine lining does not develop properly. Susten 200 mg supplies the hormone directly. This helps the lining thicken and stay stable, giving the embryo a better environment to implant and grow. The capsule uses micronized progesterone, which the body absorbs well after ingestion.

How to Take Susten 200 mg Capsule

Your doctor will set the dose and timing based on your condition. The usual dose for luteal phase support during IVF is one to two capsules taken two to three times daily. Most patients take it at night or with a meal because it can cause drowsiness. Do not change the dose without speaking to your doctor first.

Taking it with food improves absorption and reduces the chance of nausea.

If you miss a dose, skip it if the next dose is close. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Store the capsules in a cool and dry place. Keep Susten 200 mg away from direct heat, sunlight and out of reach of children.

Who Should Not Take It

Susten 200 mg capsule is not suitable for everyone. Women with a known allergy to progesterone or any ingredient in the capsule should avoid it. It is not recommended for those with unexplained vaginal bleeding, active liver disease or a history of hormone-related cancers. Always give your doctor a full medical history before starting progesterone 200 mg capsule.
