Frequently asked questions
What is Susten SR 300 Tablet?
Susten SR 300 Tablet is a form of progesterone, a natural hormone that is extracted from plants. It has been processed to be in a micronized form, which means the size of the particles is reduced. This process enhances the medication's dissolution and absorption in the body, leading to better availability and potentially fewer side effects.
What conditions does Susten SR 300 Tablet treat?
Susten SR 300 Tablet is used to treat various menstrual disorders. It can be used for women who have had no menstruation (secondary amenorrhea) for three months in a row. It also helps with pregnancy, preventing premature labor, and treating bleeding issues that may occur before menopause. It can also be part of fertility treatment or used as hormone replacement therapy after menopause. In some cases, it is prescribed for premenstrual syndrome symptoms or painful menstrual bleeding.
Can I take Susten SR 300 Tablet every day?
Yes, you can take Susten SR 300 Tablet daily. It is usually taken once a day in the evening or at bedtime.

Does Susten SR 300 Tablet cause weight gain?
Yes, taking Susten SR 300 Tablet may lead to some weight gain. This could be due to fluid retention. If you experience significant weight change, it is important to contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Is Susten SR 300 Tablet safe?
Susten SR 300 Tablet is generally considered safer than synthetic progesterone forms. This is because of its micronized form, which makes it easier for the body to absorb and potentially leads to fewer side effects like fluid retention, reduced HDL cholesterol levels, headaches, and mood changes.
How does progesterone benefit fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone is crucial for both fertility and pregnancy. It's a hormone secreted by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg. Susten SR 300 Tablet (a natural micronized form of progesterone) is prescribed to support the uterus in preparing itself for pregnancy. In some cases, it can prevent abortions, and its use during pregnancy helps maintain the pregnancy.
