Ovamed-SR Tablet is a combination medicine used for treating female infertility. It helps in maintaining the hormonal balance in the body and improving pregnancy rates by its endocrinal stimulation of egg cells. Female infertility is a condition in which a woman is unable to conceive despite frequent unprotected sex for at least a year, due to a lack of natural progesterone. 

Ovamed-SR Tablet contains 'Dehydroepiandrosterone and Folic acid'. Ovamed-SR Tablet treats infertility by enhancing the success rate of pregnancy and conception through mechanisms such as follicle stimulation, promoting healthy egg cell production and eliminating defunct ova. Ovamed-SR Tablet is also a potent antioxidant and is useful in promoting overall health, nutrition, and well-being.

Ovamed-SR Tablet may be taken with or without food. Swallow it as a whole with water. In some cases, Ovamed-SR Tablet may cause certain common side effects such as oily skin, mood change and sweating. 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. 

Inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of Ovamed-SR Tablet . Proceed with caution if you have a history or are suffering from breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometriosis, fibroids or polycystic ovaries. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Avoid consumption of alcohol with Ovamed-SR Tablet .

Ovamed-SR Tablet is used to improve fertility rates in conjunction with IVF. It is also used to treat symptoms of menopause such as vaginal dryness, osteoporosis and mood swings. Dehydroepiandrosterone helps in follicular stimulation, thus promoting healthy egg cell production and bettering the chances of pregnancy. Folic acid is very important in the production of new and healthy blood cells. Folic acid acts as a promoter in the manufacturing of mood-lifting hormones Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine, which are responsible for regulating mood and helping combat depression. Additionally, it is vital in the maintenance of foetal growth and development and thus an essential element in pregnancy.  In conjunction, Ovamed-SR Tablet is hence used to treat infertility and mood changes related to hormonal imbalance.
