Is it safe to take Susten SR 200 instead of my prescribed Susten 300 to help support my pregnancy after having a cervix stitch, and are these two medications the same?
While both Susten 300 and Susten SR 200 contain the hormone progesterone, they are not the same. Susten 300 delivers a 300 mg dose, whereas Susten SR 200 is a sustained-release formulation delivering a lower 200 mg dose. Because maintaining the precise dose prescribed by your doctor is essential for supporting your pregnancy right now, it is not safe to switch these medications on your own. Please reach out to your obstetrician before making any changes.
