About Susten 8% Gel

Susten 8% Gel is used to treat female infertility and to aid pregnancy. It is also used to restore the menstrual cycle in women who have missed their periods. Female infertility is a condition in which a female body is unable to conceive despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for at least one year.

Susten 8% Gel contains progesterone, a female hormone that regulates ovulation and menstruation in women. Susten 8% Gel induces secretory changes in the endometrium lining of the uterus, relaxes the uterus, blocks the maturation and release of follicles and maintains pregnancy.

Use Susten 8% Gel as directed by your doctor. It is intended for intra-vaginal use only. In some cases, Susten 8% Gel may cause abdominal pain, headache, constipation, nausea, and breast pain/enlargement. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before using Susten 8% Gel inform your doctor if you have/had liver or kidney problems, heart problems, diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, migraine or depression. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects/interactions.

FAQs

Susten 8% Gel causes secretory changes in the uterine endometrium, relaxes the uterus, prevents follicle maturation, and helps to maintain pregnancy.
