Medical Description

Mala D tablet is an oral contraceptive or birth control pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains a combination of two hormonal medicines, levonorgestrel and Ethinyl estradiol. Mala D tablet works by mimicking the action of natural female hormones present in the body.

Choice tablets also contain the same ingredients- levonorgestrel and Ethinyl estradiol. Mala D tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Also, it is very important to take this medicine regularly as missing a dose may lead to failure of contraception. Oral contraceptives are one of the most reliable methods of contraception. If used correctly, it can make your periods regular and may relieve premenstrual syndrome.

The most common side effects of taking Mala D tablet include vaginal infections or inflammation, vaginal discharge, unusual spotting or bleeding, breast tenderness, mood changes, low sex drive, and weight changes. Consult your doctor if any of these symptoms worsen.

Before you start taking Mala d tablet, inform your doctor if you smoke and are over 35 years of age, have any medical condition and are on other medications and supplements. Missing a pill increases your chances of becoming pregnant, so use an alternative method of contraception. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly without first consulting your doctor.
