Susten 100 mg Capsules are oral or vaginal soft gelatin capsules containing natural micronized progesterone, essential for maintaining healthy pregnancy and hormonal balance.

The 100 mg dose is suitable for routine hormonal support and is frequently prescribed during the luteal phase or for progesterone supplementation in women with hormonal deficiencies.
