General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As a physician I would like to tell you that Susten is used to maintain pregnancy in women who face problem in normal conception. It is also helpful in the cases where there has been history of miscarriages.

Some side effects of susten includes vomiting, difficulties in urination, constipation, runny nose, mood swings, diarrhea, upset stomach, headache, tiredness, breast tenderness, vaginal discharge, sneezing, cough, muscle or joint pain. Thus I would suggest that you should not worry about the discharge but don't miss your tablet often. Do visit your MD obgy doctor if the discharge continues to come after 5 to 7 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
