Aqsusten 25mg Injection is a prescription hormonal medicine containing natural micronized progesterone 25mg. Progesterone is a naturally occurring female reproductive hormone that plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle, preparing the uterine lining for implantation and supporting early pregnancy. Sun Pharma currently lists Aqsusten 25mg as a natural micronized progesterone injection.
Aqsusten may be prescribed in selected patients for female infertility and progesterone support, including luteal-phase support during fertility treatment or assisted reproductive technology (ART). Current research specifically describes AqSusten 25mg as an aqueous progesterone injection relevant to ART and luteal-phase support.
Progesterone also has an important role in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. In the presence of adequate estrogen, progesterone converts the endometrium from a proliferative state into a secretory, implantation-supportive state. Once implantation occurs, progesterone helps maintain an environment that supports early pregnancy.
Depending on the patient's diagnosis and treatment plan, progesterone therapy may also be used for menstrual disorders associated with progesterone deficiency, such as secondary amenorrhea or certain types of abnormal uterine bleeding. Progesterone is additionally used in some hormone-replacement regimens, particularly to oppose estrogen-related effects on the endometrium.
Aqsusten Injection should be used only according to a doctor's prescribed dose, schedule and administration method. Injectable progesterone treatment is generally supervised by a healthcare professional, particularly during fertility treatment. Do not change the dose, frequency or duration without medical advice. Your current Aqsusten page also appropriately states that the injection should not normally be self-administered without professional guidance.
Possible side effects may include abdominal discomfort or cramps, breast tenderness, dizziness, back pain, changes in vaginal bleeding, nausea or injection-related reactions. Serious reactions are less common but require prompt medical attention.
Patients should inform their healthcare provider about unexplained vaginal bleeding, liver disease, a history of hormone-sensitive cancers or thromboembolic disorders, and all other medicines being used before progesterone treatment. Appropriate precautions depend on the individual patient's medical history and treatment indication.
