This drug contain Ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg + desogestrel 0.15 mg | 21 tablets

Ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg + desogestrel 0.15 mg is a combination oral contraceptive pill (OCP) commonly known as a "birth control pill". It contains two synthetic hormones, ethinylestradiol (estrogen) and desogestrel (progestin), which work together to prevent pregnancy.

This specific pill comes in a pack of 21 tablets, which should be taken once a day for 21 days followed by a 7-day break where no tablets are taken. During the 7-day break, withdrawal bleeding (similar to a period) usually occurs.

The estrogen in the pill helps to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) by suppressing the production of certain hormones that stimulate ovulation. The progestin in the pill thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg if ovulation were to occur. Additionally, the progestin thins the lining of the uterus, making it less likely for a fertilized egg to implant.

This OCP is considered a low-dose pill because it contains a relatively low amount of hormones compared to earlier generations of birth control pills. However, like all hormonal contraceptives, it may cause side effects in some people, such as headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of this pill and to discuss any concerns or medical history that may affect its suitability for use.

Store this medicine at room temperature, away from sunlight and moisture.

Swallow the tablets/capsule whole, do not crush or chew.,,Follow your doctor's instructions for adjusting your dose.
