Can Susten Be Replaced In Place Of Endometrin During Pregnancy?
Question: Dear Dr.
My wife is 22 weeks pregnant. Pregnancy has been going smooth.
She was earlier on following medications
1. Duphaston 10 mg twice a day.
2. Progesterone 100 Mg vaginal suppository (Endometrin 100 mg)
3. Vitamins (D, Folic Acid, Calcim, Iron and Zinc)
I have 2 questions
1. Endometrin 100 mg Progesterone Suppository is out of stock in Dubai. Can we replace it with Susten 150 Mg progesterone suppository ?
2. From today my wife is feeling a stretching feeling in her pelvic area (near her vagina, both sides and centre). I hope this is normal as the baby grows ?
Please advice on both the questions
Thank You

Brief Answer:
Can replace, normal pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
1. Yes, you can replace endometrin with susten 150, as both are natural micronised progesterone and have same effect on the pregnancy.
2. Stretching in the pubic area and vagina is due to the enlarging pregnancy and stretching of the ligaments. It is normal and one can get relief from doing regular prenatal exercises like butterfly exercise.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
