SUVIDHA TABLET

SUVIDHA TABLET belongs to the class of medications called ‘contraceptives’ primarily used for birth control and treating 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, leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

SUVIDHA TABLET is a combination of three medicines: Levonorgesterol, Ethinylestradiol, and Ferrous fumarate. SUVIDHA TABLET works by preventing the release of an egg from ovaries and making sperm entry difficult to enter in the uterus to fertilise sperm and egg. In addition to this, SUVIDHA TABLET prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is required for egg growth in the uterus. Ferrous fumarate is required to make up for the amount of iron that women lose during their menstrual period. 

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor.  The common side effects are acne, amenorrhea (absence of menses), tenderness, pain, or swelling of the breasts, decrease in the secretion of breast milk after giving birth, dizziness, oedema (fluid retention), gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, and bloating, unwanted hair growth, intolerance to contact lenses, changes in sexual desire, loss of scalp hair, change in menstrual flow, dark patches on the skin, mood changes, nausea, nervousness, vaginal discharge, vomiting, and loss or gain of appetite. If the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

SUVIDHA TABLET is a combination of three medicines: Levonorgestrel, Ethinylestradiol, and Ferrous fumarate. It is primarily used for contraception (prevent pregnancy). It increases menstrual cycle regularity and decreases blood loss. It decreases the incidence of iron deficiency anaemia, dysmenorrhea (irregular or painful periods), functional ovarian cysts, and ectopic pregnancies (pregnancy outside the womb). Long-term use may decrease the incidence of fibroadenomas and fibrocystic disease of the breast (lumps in the breast), acute pelvic inflammatory disease (inflammation of the pelvic organs), and cancer of the ovary and vagina.
