Composition

Desogestrel (0.15 Mg) + Ethinyl Estradiol (0.02 Mg)

Ovuloc-LD Tablet is a medicine primarily used as a contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy and regulate the menstrual cycle. It contains two types of female hormones: progestogen (desogestrel) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol).

This medicine is commonly used by women who want to prevent pregnancy or manage their menstrual cycle. It is essential to take one tablet daily, preferably at the same time each day, with water. Be sure to follow the directions for use provided by your doctor. Some of the side effects of Ovuloc-LD Tablet include nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, headache, breakthrough bleeding, weight gain, mood swings and acne.

Contraception: Ovuloc-LD Tablet helps prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and altering the uterus lining to prevent implantation.
Menstrual cycle regulation: Ovuloc-LD Tablet can help regulate irregular periods and provide a predictable menstrual cycle.
Hormone replacement therapy: Ovuloc-LD Tablet may be used in hormone replacement therapy for women who have reached menopause to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.

This tablet is taken orally with a glass of water.
Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or on the product label.

Ovuloc-LD Tablet is taken orally, which means it is swallowed with water. It should not be taken in any other way.

Nausea: You may feel like vomiting or have an upset stomach.
Breast tenderness: Your breasts may become sore or sensitive to touch.
Headache: You may experience throbbing pain in your head.
Mood changes: Your emotions may fluctuate, leading to mood swings.
Changes in menstrual bleeding patterns: Your periods may become lighter, heavier, or irregular.

Managing the Side Effects:

Nausea: Eat small, frequent meals and avoid spicy or greasy foods.
Breast tenderness: Wear a supportive bra and apply a warm compress to relieve discomfort.
Headache: Rest in a quiet, dark room and apply a cold compress to your forehead.
Mood changes: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or engage in activities that bring you joy.
Changes in menstrual bleeding patterns: Keep track of your menstrual cycle and communicate any concerns with your healthcare professional.

Desogestrel inhibits ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries.
Ethinylestradiol thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Additionally, both desogestrel and ethinylestradiol alter the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to the implantation of a fertilized egg.
