🧬 Introduction – What is Susten 200 mg Capsule?

Susten 200 mg Capsules are soft gelatin capsules formulated with micronized natural progesterone, intended for oral or vaginal administration. Manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, these capsules are vital in fertility treatments, hormone replacement therapy, and early pregnancy maintenance.

The higher 200 mg strength provides enhanced luteal phase support and is typically prescribed when a lower dose is insufficient. It plays a central role in preparing the endometrium for embryo implantation and in supporting gestation during the critical first trimester.
