Female infertility is a condition in which a female body is unable to conceive despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for at least one year. 

Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule contains Coenzyme Q10, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Melatonin. Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule helps in the synthesis and maintenance of sex hormones in the body, by acting as a parent molecule to sex hormones. Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule aids the healthy production of egg cells in the female ovary, thereby improving female fertility.

Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule may be taken without food, but it is better to take it at a designated time. In some cases, Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, stomach ache, fatigue, mood swings and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.

Uses of Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule

Treatment of Female infertility

Medicinal Benefits

Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule contains Coenzyme Q10, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Melatonin. It is used primarily to treat female infertility. Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule is a very potent promoter of oestrogen production. Hence, it finds wide use in treating female infertility. DHEA is a naturally occurring sex hormone in the human body, produced mainly by the adrenal glands and liver, besides ovaries and brain cells. It helps in the synthesis and maintenance of sex hormones in the body, by acting as a precursor of sex hormones. It acts directly on plasma membrane receptors and promotes the conversion of sex hormones to their most potent counterparts. DHEA enhances the production of healthy egg cells in the female body and greatly improves the chance of pregnancy. It also greatly reduces the chances of miscarriage by genetically preventing conditions that may lead to loss of pregnancy. Coenzyme Q10 is a very useful antioxidant and aids the conversion of food into energy. It also protects cells from the damage that can be caused by oxygen radicals. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant, and it specifically protects healthy follicles from oxidative damage, thereby improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy. Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule is thus also a potent energy booster that provides stamina to the body and also improves overall immunity. In addition, Ovamed-SR Softgel Capsule may also be used in treating vaginal atrophy, which is a condition where vaginal tissue thins out.
