Choice Tablet 28's

Choice Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘contraceptives’ primarily used for birth control and treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy and is used in family planning. Dysmenorrhea is irregular and painful, leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

Choice Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Levonorgesterol, Ethinylestradiol, and Ferrous fumarate. Choice Tablet works by preventing the release of an egg from ovaries and making sperm entry difficult to enter in the uterus to fertilise sperm and egg. In addition to this, Choice Tablet prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is required for egg growth in the uterus. Ferrous fumarate is required to make up for the amount of iron that women lose during their menstrual period. 

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor.  The common side effects are acne, amenorrhea (absence of menses), tenderness, pain, or swelling of the breasts, decrease in the secretion of breast milk after giving birth, dizziness, oedema (fluid retention), gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, and bloating, unwanted hair growth, intolerance to contact lenses, changes in sexual desire, loss of scalp hair, change in menstrual flow, dark patches on the skin, mood changes, nausea, nervousness, vaginal discharge, vomiting, and loss or gain of appetite.
