Susten 100 mg Capsule

Susten 100 mg Capsule is a progesterone medicine in capsule form. Each capsule contains 100 mg of progesterone, a natural female hormone used in fertility care and other hormone-related conditions. It is commonly prescribed to support the uterine lining and help treat progesterone deficiency-related problems, including infertility treatment when a doctor recommends it.

How it works: Progesterone helps prepare and maintain the lining of the uterus so it can better support a pregnancy or respond to hormone treatment. In capsule form, Susten 100 mg Capsule delivers progesterone systemically after it is swallowed, helping replace or supplement the body’s natural hormone.

Susten 100 mg Capsule is the lower-strength option in this brand line, compared with Susten 200 mg Capsule. Doctors may choose Susten 100 mg Capsule when a smaller progesterone dose is needed, when the dose is being adjusted gradually, or when a patient needs more flexible dosing across the day. Because it is a 100 mg capsule, it is often used as part of a tailored regimen rather than a one-capsule, one-size-fits-all approach.

• Infertility treatment support
• Luteal phase support
• Progesterone supplementation
• Support for uterine lining preparation
• Hormone deficiency treatment as prescribed

• Swallow Susten 100 mg Capsule whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed, because progesterone schedules are often set to match fertility treatment plans.
• You may be told to take it with food or at bedtime if it causes sleepiness or stomach upset.
• Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless your clinician specifically says to.
• If your prescription includes vaginal use instead of swallowing, follow the exact route your doctor prescribed; this capsule may be used differently depending on the treatment plan.

Each Susten 100 mg Capsule provides 100 mg of progesterone, so the total daily dose depends on how many capsules your doctor prescribes. Some patients take it once daily, while others need multiple doses per day; the maximum daily amount is individualized and should only be set by the prescriber. Do not change the number of capsules on your own, because fertility and hormone regimens need close medical supervision.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
