Composition:-
Desogestrel .15 mg + Ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg
Uses:-
Desogestrel 0.15 mg combined with Ethinyl Estradiol 0.03 mg is primarily used as an oral contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. This combination pill works by preventing ovulation, altering the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the uterus, and changing the uterine lining to make it less likely for a fertilized egg to attach. Additionally, it can be prescribed to manage menstrual cycle-related issues such as irregular periods, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Some healthcare providers also recommend this medication for acne control in women who seek birth control.
Side Effects:-
While effective, Desogestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, bloating, breast tenderness, and weight changes. Some women might experience mood changes or spotting between periods. Serious but rare side effects include blood clots, high blood pressure, liver problems, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer. It’s important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms like severe abdominal pain, chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, severe headache, or vision changes, as these could indicate serious complications.
Indication:-
This medication is indicated for women seeking an effective method of birth control. It is also suitable for those who need to regulate their menstrual cycles or reduce symptoms associated with menstruation. Women experiencing moderate to severe acne may also benefit from its use. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if this contraceptive method is appropriate for your specific health needs and lifestyle.
