Introduction About SUSTEN 8% GEL
SUSTEN
8% GEL is a vaginal gel used in females to manage female infertility
due to incorrect levels of progesterone during the menstrual cycle or
when you are having an assisted fertility procedure.
It contains a medicine called Progesterone
which is a synthetic female hormone. When the gel is inserted into your
vagina, the progesterone will slowly release into your bloodstream
throughout the day which mimics the actions of natural progesterone
produced in your body.

hands before and after application. Before using this medicine, inform
