Ovuloc Tablet is used for contraception and in the treatment of 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 periods leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

Ovuloc Tablet contains Desogestrel and Ethinylestradiol, which are primarily used for contraception. It also contains two female sex hormones that help to prevent pregnancy in multiple ways. It prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries and makes the fluid present in the cervix thick, making it difficult for sperm to enter the womb. In addition, it prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is necessary for an egg to grow and multiply.

Ovuloc Tablet can be taken with or without food, but it can be taken at the same time every day for the best results. Like all medicines, Ovuloc Tablet can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

Contraception: It is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can only get pregnant if a man sperm fertilizes her egg. Contraception aims to prevent this from happening by keeping egg and sperm apart by stopping egg production or not letting the uterus wall become thick. As a result, no fertilization takes place, so contraception is a safe method for family planning.

Dysmenorrhea: It is irregular and painful periods leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, nausea. Generally, a menstrual cycle is about 25-30 days. But in dysmenorrhea, this cycle may be short or prolonged, leading to excessive pain.
