Aqsusten 25mg Injection is generally given by a healthcare professional and should not be self-administered at home. You should use Aqsusten 25mg Injection as your doctor has advised.

The most common side effects include abdominal cramps, back pain, breast tenderness, hypotension and dizziness, hypercoagulant state, and vaginal bleeding. Your doctor may suggest ways to reduce or prevent these. Occasionally, it may cause a severe allergic reaction requiring urgent medical attention.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of breast cancer, unusual vaginal bleeding, or liver, kidney, or heart disease. Inform your doctor about all other medicines that you are taking as they may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. You will probably have several tests both before and during treatment with this medicine. Aqsusten 25mg Injection can alter your thinking or reactions and you may feel very tired so be careful while driving or doing anything that requires you to be alert.

  • Regulates Menstrual Cycle: It can help regulate the menstrual cycle and alleviate symptoms of menstrual irregularities or amenorrhea (absence of menstruation).

Drug Interactions:

Aqsusten 25mg Injection may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Some common drug interactions include:

• Anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin: Progesterone may enhance the effects of anticoagulants, increasing the risk of bleeding.
• Medications that induce liver enzymes (e.g., rifampicin, phenytoin): They may increase the metabolism of progesterone, reducing its effectiveness.
• Estrogen-containing medications: Combining progesterone with estrogen may have additive effects on the endometrium and may be prescribed as part of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are taking before starting Aqsusten 25mg Injection to minimize the risk of drug interactions.
