Janya Tablet is a combination of two hormonal medicines. The main uses of Janya tablets are to treat irregular periods and prevent pregnancy by stopping the release and fertilisation of the egg by a
sperm. This medicine is also known as a combined oral contraceptive (COC). These tablets are only for women. This tablet contains Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone as its single main ingredient.

This medicine must be taken at the same time each day to get the most benefit. You may notice spotting or bleeding after using these tablets, which can be normal. Follow your doctor’s directions for using Janya tablets. If you missed more than and single dose, consult your doctor or start using other types of contraceptives. Nausea, flushing, headache, breast tenderness, weakness, and swelling are some common side effects of Janya tablets. If you are over the age of 35 and are a regular smoker, do not use this pill, as it can increase the risk of heart disease. Do not use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Regular blood pressure and cholesterol levels should be checked.
