Susten 200 Injection is administered intramuscularly.

The Susten 200 Injection contains two active ingredients:

• Progesterone (100 mg): This hormone is naturally secreted by the ovaries, particularly after ovulation during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. It acts on the endometrium (uterine lining), converting it from a proliferative (growing) state to a secretory (ready for implantation) state. This prepares the uterus for accepting a fertilised egg. Additionally, progesterone reduces uterine muscle contractility and prevents immune rejection of the embryo.

• Benzyl Alcohol (200 mg): These are included in many injectable medications as solvents or antimicrobial preservatives. In Susten 200 Injection, they help maintain the stability and effectiveness of progesterone.

• Store the Susten 200 Injection in a cool and dry place, ideally at room temperature.

• Keep this medicine away from direct sunlight, heat, and dampness.

• Make certain to keep this injection out of the reach of children.

• If you're using Susten 200 Injection to manage abnormal uterine bleeding, avoid excessive caffeine intake as it may worsen your symptoms.

• Since mood changes can be a side effect, practising relaxation techniques such as yoga or deep breathing can help alleviate stress and balance emotions.
