About Susten 100 Injection
Susten 100 Injection is a progesterone-based medication used to treat female infertility and restore menstrual cycles in women who have stopped having periods due to hormonal imbalances.

This injection is also used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help manage symptoms associated with menopause and to support pregnancy.

How Susten 100 Injection Works
Susten 100 Injection contains progesterone, a vital hormone for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. It helps to prepare and maintain the uterine lining (endometrium), which is essential for implantation and pregnancy. Progesterone also helps prevent the negative effects of estrogen on the uterus, making it an important treatment in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for postmenopausal women.
Uses of Susten Injection
- Female Infertility
- Used to help restore menstrual cycles and improve chances of pregnancy by regulating ovulation and thickening the uterine lining. It may be continued after pregnancy is confirmed.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
- Used in combination with estrogen to relieve menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness, while also protecting the uterus from estrogen’s harmful effects.
