Uses of Num Ova 600mg/4mg/50mg Tablet

Treatment of Female Infertility

Medicinal Benefits

Num Ova 600mg/4mg/50mg Tablet is an ovarian stimulant. It contains Acetylcysteine, Astaxanthin and Clomiphene. It is used primarily to improve female fertility in those suffering from problems related to the proper release of the egg cells (ovulation). Acetylcysteine is a potent antioxidant and is useful in enhancing spontaneous ovulation and pregnancy rates while also regulating menstruation, periods and overall reproductive health. Astaxanthin is also a potent antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and damage. Clomiphene is an ovarian stimulant and selective oestrogen receptor modulator. It regulates the levels of oestrogen in the body and increases the release of gonadotropic hormones FSH and LH. FSH and LH, in turn, act on the ovaries and follicles to augment the liberation of eggs from inside the follicles, thereby making the egg cells available and approachable for fertilisation by male sperm. In conjunction, Num Ova 600mg/4mg/50mg Tablet is hence used to treat infertility and to improve overall hormonal and gynaecological health.
