How Efem Soft Gelatin Capsule works

Efem Softgel Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Evening Primrose Oil and Tocoferol which treat fibrocystic breast disease. Evening Primrose Oil is a natural oil.

These fatty acids block the action of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause cyclical breast pain and inflammation (swelling). Tocoferol is an antioxidant which protects the breast tissue from harmful chemical substances (free radicals).
