Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Susten contains natural micronized progesterone.
It is not an antihypertensive but it helps in preventing premature labor and in maintenance of pregnancy.
The possible steps that can help you are:
-Take tablet after food
-Better to take tablet before going bed
-If side effects become severe, with your doctor's advice you can take one tablet per day instead of two.
-Maintain good hydration and diet.
Usually with continuation of treatment the side effects will decrease.

Take care.
