Novelon Tablet

Description

Novelon Tablet is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing Ethinyl Estradiol and Desogestrel. It is used for the prevention of pregnancy by regulating hormonal balance in the female reproductive system. This combination helps suppress ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm penetration, and alter the uterine lining to prevent implantation.

Composition:

• Ethinyl Estradiol 0.03mg – a synthetic estrogen that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports contraceptive effectiveness.
