Susten SR 300 Tablet

Product Introduction

Susten SR 300 Tablet is a hormonal medication primarily prescribed to support and enhance the luteal phase in women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It contains progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating ovulation and menstruation. This tablet is classified under the category of progestins and is designed for sustained release, ensuring a consistent and controlled release of the hormone into the bloodstream over an extended period.

The active ingredient in Susten SR 300 Tablet is micronized progesterone. Micronization increases the surface area of the progesterone particles, improving its absorption and bioavailability when taken orally. This formulation is particularly beneficial for women who require progesterone supplementation for various reproductive health issues, including luteal phase defects, threatened miscarriage, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Uses of Susten SR 300 Tablet

Susten SR 300 Tablet is used for a variety of medical conditions related to progesterone deficiency. The primary uses include:

• Luteal Phase Support in ART: Susten SR 300 Tablet is often prescribed to women undergoing ART procedures to support the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, enhancing the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
• Management of Amenorrhea: It is used to treat secondary amenorrhea (the absence of menstrual periods in women who previously had regular cycles) by restoring normal menstrual cycles.
• Treatment of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Progesterone supplementation can help alleviate symptoms of PMS, such as mood swings, bloating, and breast tenderness.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Susten SR 300 Tablet is used in combination with estrogen in HRT for postmenopausal women to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the uterus lining), which can lead to cancer.
• Prevention of Preterm Birth: In some cases, it is used to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with a history of spontaneous preterm delivery or a short cervix.
