💊 Susten Gel 8.0% Product Description
Susten Gel 8.0% (Progesterone Vaginal Gel) is a specially formulated prescription medication designed for women who require progesterone supplementation as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment program. It is commonly used to support the luteal phase in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.
The active ingredient, micronized progesterone, is a naturally occurring female hormone essential for regulating ovulation and implantation. When applied vaginally, the unique gel formulation allows for localized, sustained absorption directly into the uterine tissue, promoting the development of a healthy, receptive uterine lining (endometrium) necessary for the successful implantation and maintenance of a pregnancy.
Key Benefits:
- Targeted Progesterone Delivery: The unique vaginal gel system ensures direct and efficient delivery of progesterone to the uterus, minimizing systemic exposure.
- Optimizes Uterine Environment: Helps prepare and maintain the endometrium, creating ideal conditions for embryo implantation and early pregnancy support.
- Convenient and Discreet: A simple, once-daily application for consistent hormonal support during the critical luteal phase.
🛡️ Precautions
Is Susten Gel 8.0% Right for You?
Susten Gel 8.0% is a prescription-only medication and should only be used under the direct supervision of a healthcare professional experienced in fertility treatment. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to progesterone or any of the gel components, unexplained vaginal bleeding, certain types of cancer (e.g., breast or genital tract carcinoma), missed abortion, or active thromboembolic disorders.
DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Discontinuing Susten Gel 8.0% abruptly can lead to spotting, bleeding, or an increased risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy. Always consult your prescribing physician before making any changes to your dosage or stopping treatment, as the treatment duration must be carefully managed by your fertility specialist.

Very satisfied with the product itself, but shipping was a bit slow. It took 25 days to arrive. I will order earlier next time.
