Susten is a progesterone-only pill that helps balance your hormone levels and reduce menopause symptoms you may be experiencing like hot flushes, mood swings, and irregular periods.
It is often prescribed to women taking oestrogen-only HRT treatments to reduce the risk of endometrial and breast cancer. The progesterone component in Susten helps counteract the potential risk of endometrial hyperplasia associated with oestrogen use.
When women use hormone replacement therapy, the primary hormone they need is oestrogen. Supplementing this hormone helps to reduce a range of menopausal symptoms and ease the transition into postmenopause.
Susten is used as a protective treatment for women who need combined HRT, but are taking an oestrogen-only treatment. When women who have an intact uterus taking oestrogen on its own, their risk of certain conditions, like endometrial hyperplasia and cancer of the womb, increases. The job of a progestin-only pill like Susten in this case is to counterbalance the effects of oestrogen, and reduce this risk.
In addition to protecting the uterus, progesterone also has other benefits. It can help regulate mood swings, improve sleep quality, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis (a condition where bones become weak and brittle) that can occur during menopause.
It's important to note that taking any medication, including Susten, should be done under the guidance of a doctor. They will determine the right dosage and duration of treatment based on your specific needs and monitor your progress to make sure everything is going well.
Generally, your doctor will start you on the lowest effective dose and adjust as needed based on how much relief you got and your hormonal response. Starting with a low dose of Susten allows for careful monitoring of your response and helps minimize potential side effects.

Your doctor will prescribe the dosage and frequency of taking Susten after assessing your symptoms. You must take the tablet exactly as suggested by your doctor with a glass of water.
How you take Susten can be different depending on the stage of menopause you’re at. If it’s been less than 12 months since your last period, you may be perimenopausal or menopausal, and recommended a sequential treatment. This means taking your oestrogen treatment every day, but only using Susten on certain days each month.
If it’s been more than 12 months since your last period, you’re likely postmenopausal, and may need continuous HRT. This means taking Susten every day alongside your oestrogen-only treatment.
It is important to inform your doctor about any underlying health conditions that you may have and any medications that you may be taking to make sure you experience minimal side effects from Susten.
The time it takes for Endogest to work can vary from person to person and also depends on the symptoms it is being used to treat. In a trial it was found that for women who experience sleep disturbances, Susten helped them achieve deeper and sounder sleep.
With HRT, it may take some trial and error to figure out which treatment is working best for you. Chat with one of our doctors and they would be happy to check in and monitor your progress.
If you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time to take the next dose, then just skip the missed tablet.
If you’ve taken a double dose or more than you should, talk to your doctor or visit the hospital immediately.
