Why Is Susten 200 Prescribed During Pregnancy?

Hi Dr. Lundi,
My wife is 5-6 weeks of pregnant. Yesterday, she felt lower abdominal pain and found some red colored spot in her underwear. Today, we visited our doctor. He asked to take injection of susten 200. What is it for and why is he prescribed.
Regards

WELCM DEAR FND

SUSTEN IS A PROGESTERONE PREPARATION...IT IS GIVEN EARLY IN PREGNANCY TO SUPPORT THE PREGNANCY...

AS YOUR WIFE HAD SPOTTING , IT CAN BE DUE TO DEFICIENT PROGESTERONE ...
PROGESTERONE SUPPORT WILL HELP TO MAINTAIN PREGNANCY...
IT IS AVAILABLE AS ORAL TABLETS ALSO...

DONT DO SEXUAL INTERCOURSE AT THIS TIME, AVOID HEAVY WEIGHT LIFTING AND HEAVY WORK...

TAKE CARE

THANKS
