Prescription Required
Product introduction
Ovral G Tablet is a medicine used to prevent pregnancy (contraception). It works by preventing the release and fertilization of the egg. It also helps regulate menstrual cycles and reduce period discomfort.
To ensure the effectiveness of Ovral G Tablet, take one dose daily at the same time without skipping doses. Missing doses may reduce its contraceptive effect and increase the risk of pregnancy. Follow the prescribed schedule strictly, even if you do not have regular sexual activity.
Common side effects of Ovral G Tablet include nervousness, rash, headache, and breast pain. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. You might experience spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods or missed periods. Consult with your doctor if this occurs frequently or persists longer. Inform your doctor if you notice swelling and pain in your limbs, shortness of breath, chest pain, or vision changes, as it may be a sign of a blood clot.
Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you smoke and are over 35, or if you have ever had a heart attack or have cancer of the uterus/cervix, or vagina. Your doctor should also know about all other medicines you are taking, as many of these may make this medicine less effective or change the way it works. Do not take the medicine if you are already pregnant or breastfeeding.

Benefits of Ovral G Tablet
In Contraception
Ovral G Tablet is a contraceptive medicine that stops you from getting pregnant in multiple ways. Firstly, it prevents an egg from being released from your ovaries. Secondly, it makes the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb. Additionally, it prevents the thickening of the lining of your womb, thereby making it unfavorable for an egg to grow in it. It does not interrupt sex, and you can lead a normal routine life without any worries. Take it as directed by the doctor to get the most benefit.
