Sevista 60mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Sevista tablet is an oral contraceptive pill. It contains the active ingredient Ormeloxifene (also known as Centchroman). It belongs to the therapeutic class of anti-estrogens. This medication is primarily used as a non-hormonal contraceptive and for the management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. It works by modulating the estrogen receptors in the uterus to prevent pregnancy and regulate the menstrual cycle without the side effects typically associated with steroid-based hormonal pills.
The dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated, and only your doctor can determine the appropriate dose, so it is important to follow their instructions carefully.
Sevista tablet is a non-hormonal medication and generally has minimal side effects. However, in some cases, it may cause changes or irregularities in the menstrual cycle. If this becomes troublesome or seems severe, inform your doctor, as measures may be available to reduce or manage these effects.
Before starting this medicine, tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as some may interfere with its effectiveness or alter how it works.
