Product introduction

Novex DS Tablet is a non-hormonal oral contraceptive medicine used to prevent pregnancy. It works by altering the reproductive cycle and making the lining of the uterus unsuitable for implantation of a fertilized egg.

Novex DS Tablet may also be used to control abnormal vaginal bleeding in women who have not attained menopause (end of the monthly menstrual period). Novex DS Tablet is generally taken twice a week for the first 3 months and once a week thereafter. Take the first dose on the first day of your period and the second dose 3 days later, and continue on the same two days each week for the first 3 months. From the fourth month, take it once weekly on the same day, regardless of your menstrual cycle.

Novex DS Tablet is generally safe and does not cause any common side effects. However, some people may experince irregular bleeding or changes in their menstrual cycle, particularly during the first few months. Periods may sometimes become lighter or occur at longer intervals. If your period is delayed by more than 15 days, consult your doctor to rule out pregnancy.

Tell your doctor about your medical conditions before taking Novex DS Tablet, particularly if you have liver problems, kidney disease, polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), or certain heart and blood-vessel risk factors. Also inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking. Remember that Novex DS Tablet does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV.

Benefits of Novex Tablet

Contraception

Taken once or twice a week as advised, it offers a convenient and effective option for contraception with minimal hormonal side effects.

Side effects of Novex Tablet

How to use Novex Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Novex DS Tablet may be taken with or without food.

How Novex Tablet works

Novex DS Tablet is a non-hormonal contraceptive that modifies the action of estrogen in the female reproductive tract. It increases the movement of the fertilized egg through the fallopian tube and delays the development of the uterine lining (endometrium). As a result, the uterus is not adequately prepared for implantation when the fertilized egg reaches it, thereby helping prevent pregnancy.

Dosage

Novex DS Tablet is taken twice a week for the first 3 months. Take the first dose on the first day of your period and the second dose 3 days later (on the fourth day). Continue taking it on these same two days each week for the first 3 months. From the fourth month onward, take one dose once a week on the same day, regardless of your menstrual cycle.
