About Ovisterone Sr Plus Tablet

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.

Uses of Ovisterone Sr Plus Tablet

Treatment of Female infertility

Medicinal Benefits

Ovisterone Sr Plus Tablet is a sex hormone combination. It contains Dehydroepiandrosterone, Folic acid and Vitamin D3. It is used primarily to improve fertility rates in conjunction with IVF. 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 is an essential element in pregnancy. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is instrumental in augmenting pregnancy rates in IVF treatments, by enhancing ovarian reserves. In conjunction, Ovisterone Sr Plus Tablet is hence used to treat infertility and mood changes related to hormonal imbalance.
